Experience the charm of the royal life by staying at the historic Sandringham Estate in England. Located about 100 miles north of London in Norfolk, this estate has recently opened its neo-Byzantine Water Tower to the public.

This Water Tower, originally built in 1877 to supply fresh water, has been renovated and is now available for overnight stays. Prices begin at 151 pounds per night, approximately $200. Longer stays offer reduced nightly rates.

“THE WAIT IS OVER… Introducing The Water Tower,” announced Sandringham on social media, showcasing the classic renovation.

Decorated in a traditional British style, the tower features a cozy living room adorned with a fireplace, chandelier, and royal paintings. The upstairs bedroom, also equipped with a fireplace, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. A back staircase leads to the roof, providing panoramic views of the English hills reminiscent of a Jane Austen novel.

Designed by engineer James Mansergh, the Water Tower stands out with its circular form and intricate brickwork. It was a functional part of the estate for nearly a century.

Besides the Water Tower, the estate offers additional accommodations like the Gardens House, which accommodates eight, and the Folly, suitable for six. Balmoral Castle in Scotland, another royal summer retreat, is also available for rent.

The estate, managed by King Charles, includes numerous facilities such as farms, a sawmill, a juice pressing plant, formal gardens, a restaurant, and the Sandringham Exhibition & Transport Museum. Around 200 people work here, maintaining its vast offerings.
