Description
This 16th-century Grade II-listed house, Temple Bar House, is a unique and charming property that boasts many original features, including exposed timber beams, ornate panelling, and two remarkable priest holes. The house, located in Earsham, Norfolk, has a rich history, having been built by Lord William Howard as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Norfolk. Over the centuries, the house has been added to and modified, with the west wing being added 50 years after its initial construction and the east wing following a century later. The house has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who have maintained many of its original features, including a garderobe, richly moulded beams and joists, and broad fireplaces. The property is surrounded by enchanting gardens, which have been divided into several "rooms" and feature a mix of formal and informal planting, including wildflowers, snowdrops, and fruit trees. The house has a unique and characterful profile, with its red-brick stepped gable end, white-washed frontage, and timber-framed windows.
