This large, authentic Queen Anne house with medieval origins is home to an enthusiastic extended family and a haunting of ghosts.

‘Butcher’ Cumberland visited and Sir John Soane made improvements; the house survived years as a boys’ school.

The tour by Annabel Stretton-Derham, the current owner, includes the ground floor, original kitchen, gardens and working areas. Photographic archive of the house and people who lived there in the nineteenth century and when it was a school from 1948 to 1973.

Annabel suggests you arrive early to get the most from your trip by visiting the extensive furniture showrooms in the oldest parts of the house before the tour. Lunch is available at the tearooms where they offer delicious home-made food (book on 01986 483267 or email hello@earshamhalltearooms.co.uk to be sure you can get in), which is where visitors are served a full afternoon tea at the end of the tour.
