Anmer Hall, Sandringham Estate, Norfolk - Country home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George

From Wikipedia:

Anmer Hall is a country house situated in the Norfolk village of Anmer, in England, about two miles east of The Queen's residence at Sandringham. Leased by the Duke and Duchess of Kent as their country house from 1972 until 1990, it has formed part of the Sandringham estate since 1898. In 2013, it was reported that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would take over Anmer Hall as their country house in 2013.
