In a clever hack, King Charles has turned a home on his Sandringham estate in Norfolk into a holiday rental. The property is the former home of Queen Elizabeth II’s head gardener and sits on his royal estate.

The King is charging £5,623 a week to rent the four-bedroom, centuries-old estate, which lies just 300 metres from Sandringham House. It can sleep eight guests and has three bathrooms.

Oliver’s Travels is exclusively marketing the Edwardian property, and writes: “Once home to the Estate’s head gardener, this handsome brick residence now offers guests a rare invitation to experience the grace and quiet rhythm of life on one of Britain’s most storied country estates.

“Its rich brickwork, arched windows and tile-hung gables speak to a past steeped in Edwardian purpose, once home to the head gardener of this historic royal residence.”

The description of the property reads: “Children and dogs can roam freely in the expansive garden, while adults unwind with a glass of wine and views across the lawns.”

Named The Gardens House, it is the closest holiday cottage to Sandringham House, offering guests an extraordinary connection to one of the United Kingdom’s most iconic royal residences.”

It adds: “Set amidst manicured gardens and ancient parkland within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming retreat invites guests to step into a rich tapestry of royal heritage, seasonal splendour, and timeless countryside tranquillity.”

The house features a dining room with a table for eight people and a modern kitchen, with French doors opening onto the terrace.

The four bedrooms include a choice of super-king and twin bed, with each room individually dressed with patterned fabrics, floral prints, and reclaimed wood.

Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of King Charles and Queen Camilla. The estate includes an organic farm, sawmill, residential and commercial properties, local parishes and communities nestled in the heart of The Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It is an estate that has also seen many a royal occasion, but it’s perhaps best known as the home where the Royal Family spend their Christmases, a tradition King Charles has kept going.
