Worstead Estate

Once the sawmill for Worstead Estate and now lovingly restored, the barns retain their original features, with spectacular oak beams and traditional Norfolk brick. The combination of rustic charm, character and modern luxuries, together tucked into a peaceful and private lakeside setting, creates the truly unique venue. The interior design is a reflection of the surrounding history, with these buildings once alive with the hustle and bustle of Worstead Estate. Each room tells its own tale, from the Thatched Barn with its striking detailed brickwork, vaulted ceiling and stunning chandeliers, to the natural light and airy space of the Mulberry Room. Outside, the landscaped grounds provide a wonderfully romantic setting for drinks receptions, afternoon entertainment and photographs. Doors open onto the east facing courtyard, whilst the Thatched Barn opens onto the sun-kissed West Terrace; the perfect spot for an alfresco cocktail hour. The sweeping west lawn and romantic tree-lined paths guide you along a short walk to the private lake, with a beautifully restored boat house and bridged island. The Woodyard is available for weekend hire. 40-120 guests can be comfortably seated for dinner in the room of your choosing. Each space can be decorated as you like, providing couples with the opportunity to create a unique indoor setting for their perfect day. For intimate occasions for up to 50 people, couples are invited to host their ceremony on Lake Island against a break-taking backdrop of leafy woodland and calm waters. Across from The Woodyard is Estate Cottage, our splendid Georgian cottage. Classic elegance and modern amenity combine to provide luxury accommodation throughout, with three double bedrooms, a private hot tub and games room, all set neatly within its own walled garden. Couples are offered priority booking on accommodation on the estate, providing an opportunity to enjoy an extended luxury weekend with up to 31 of their closest friends and family.
