Fritton Lake is beautifully situated within the extensive and celebrated grounds of the Somerleyton Estate on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, family home of Hugh Crossley, son of the present Lord and Lady Somerleyton.
The lodges also benefit from the immediate proximity of the two mile long Fritton Lake, regularly applauded by visitors and guide books alike as one of the most beautiful expanses of water in the East Anglia.
The Somerleyton Estate, purchased by Sir Francis Crossley in 1863, is still privately owned and the present Lord Somerleyton's son Hugh, maintains elegant and historic Somerleyton Hall as the family residence. Sir Francis built the first woodland lodge next to Fritton Lake in 1864 and more recently so has Hugh, testament to generations of enjoyment the Crossley family have had and which now your family can share.
The estate covers around five thousand acres of entertainment including miles of footpaths, the River Waveney, The Duke's Head free house, Somerleyton Hall & Gardens as well as Fritton Lake and its particularly attractive country surroundings.
