[5] National Trust members and guests have no rights of access across the park and farmland surrounding Sheringham Hall.

[5] To the south facing facade there is a bay to each side with a portico with four pairs Tuscan columns creating a veranda.

The handrail is made from hand carved wreathed mahogany with mother of pearl and ebony inlay at the turned newel post.

Set back and to the west of the hall stands the stable block and coachman's house which were also designed by John Adey Repton.

The building is topped with a Welsh slate roof which has a central wooden cupola bell turret faced with a clock.

At the southern main entrance to the estate the gatehouse is called Ivy Lodge and was designed in the Cottage orné style by the Reptons.

The south elevation has a projecting bay with a hip roof with the upper storey clad in dark shiplap timber planking.

It is on the north-west corner of Oak Wood which is the estate's area of woodland on the hill north of the Hall.

The walled garden and cottage are 250 metres to the north-east of the house and were constructed at the same time as the hall, and again to the Reptons' plans.

[9] The garden is rectangular in plan and is bounded with high brick walls which are part-buttressed at stress points around the enclosure.

The main entrance is a double door with brick support piers to either side which is located in the middle of the west wall.

It was Cook Flower who began to landscape and plant the woodland on the hilltops around the house leaving the rolling pastures below as arable farmland.

After some negotiation a fee of £52,000[3] was agreed between the two men and an agreement was signed with Flowers legal representative by the name of William Repton[3] who resided in Aylsham.

[3] By this time Humphry Repton had begun to recover from his accident but he increasingly relied on his son for the day-to-day running of the contract.

One of the first scheduled jobs was to construct a new track (Now known as the Back Drive) down to the coast road which would be necessary to transport all the building materials to the estate.

[16] He had been the master of a local workhouse and although Upcher admired the man's diligence and enthusiastic attitude, this did not make up for his inexperience in the building trade.

Unsurprisingly the removal of the arch Centring caused the collapse of the cellar ceiling throwing progress back quite considerably.

During the period of construction of the new house Abbot and his wife Charlotte moved into Cook Flower's old farmhouse close to the village of Upper Sheringham.

Unfortunately in March 1818 Humphry Repton died as a consequence of the ill health caused by his carriage accident which he had never fully recovered from.

[17] Work was stopped on the house and it remained empty and unfinished until Abbot and Charlotte's son Henry Ramey Upcher married and he finished the hall and moved in with his family in 1839.

[18] By the time that Henry Upcher had finally completed the hall and moved in with his family, the cost for the build had risen to £12,618.

[19] He died on the 30 March 1892 leaving the hall to Henry Morris Upcher[20] who was his eldest son, and his wife Maria.

Henry was instrumental in the development of Sheringham town and spent time and money promoting the seaside resort, increasing its popularity.
