Peter Sheppard and Keith Day welcome us into Wolterton Hall, an 18th-century English country house in Norfolk, England. Both Peter & Keith have been steadily restoring and redecorating Wolterton Park since they bought the estate in 2016 — bringing the state rooms back to their original glory and creating beautiful, practical living spaces.
Watch the full episode of Design Notes as we tour Wolterton Hall and Peter & Keith explain how they live in the Palladian rooms of the piano nobile, from the State Bathroom with its alabaster-panelled bath to the Saloon that looks out on 500 acres of parkland.

What a wonderful rejuvenation of a magnificent home. The Palladian window is stunning. Thank you for sharing your home.
I remember being amazed at photos of Strawberry Hill in my Art History text in college. I'm so pleased to see this long abandoned home coming back to life. Peter and Keith have done a wonderful job restoring and maintaining the 'state rooms' in period style, while their private rooms reflect their own lifestyle. I love the idea of 'junk shop finds' next to fine art; I've done something of the sort as well. It does my heart good to learn that they have purchased the Walpole family portraits, library, and furniture, keeping these important historic collections in their original place, rather than auctioned off and scattered to the four winds. These tours are wonderful.
Wonderful home !!!! Love the details and the atmosphere ❤
I finally met my real dads
I wish I was a Pug in Wolterton house!
The owners Peter and Keith have such a wonderful home. It is magnificent with so many rooms and details. I really love the kitchen. The sofa is so unique in the way that in the middle of the seat cushion it appears to go up in a curve. Thank you so much for allowing us to view this stunning home.
Viejos mari…..ssss
This home is sublime & magical; until one sees the modern ,( contemporary); furnishings on the first floor . Then , well, it unravels into , not only ,common ,but also, ugly
Absolutely stunning love this ❤
House and garden be like here’s a quaint flat one day here’s a feudal lord another
As someone who lives on the Piano Nobile of a palazzo in Florence I’m very much hoping that the success and good taste of these gentlemen is something I can look forward to myself 😂
Uninspiring…
Gays can do better!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO. SUCH GREAT DESIGNERS WHO HAVE GIVEN THIS OLD STATELY PALLADIUM HOME A NEW LIFE. BRAVO!
only two of them live in this big house?
I get so excited when your videos pop up on my feed. This is utterly stunning. The painting’s & tapestries have so much history. The yellow room was beautiful. I loved the cosy kitchen. Well done for making this historic house a wonderful home. Remarkable
What a beautiful home. Heavenly 👍
I have no words…. 😉
This house is WONDERFUL, Amazing, stylish. It is perfect!!! I will come and stay for 2,3,7,12,20 nights….
Gorgeous!
INCREDIBLE! Kind of funny how we see so many people showing their homes..and then two blokes from England blow everyone away with their…are you ready for it: 18th Century English Manor home. Well played gentlemen.
You guys are awesome. The interiors are genius. Great experience seeing this beautiful place!
My guy sounds like Simon Cowell
Lovely, but I’m startled by the fact that H&G had to cover up the private bits in several nude portrait paintings — what a pathetic comment on today’s hypocritical prudishness!
Their matching pink socks <3
I'm so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days
This house seems both grand and comfortable, which isn’t something I usually see in these manor houses. Their skill in organizing and decorating that big girl is perfection! ❤
Beautiful thanks
Stunning
I am absolutely rabid with envy… but definitely would not have been able to do such a wonderful job of refurbishing. An excellent demonstration of taste!
Well done gentlemen!! So many superb design choices and the Palladian design of the house gives it an innate elegance.
What a charming project, breathing life and style into this beautiful building, not making it a perfect reproduction from out of purpose facilities, (such as the beautiful museum piece that is Dumfries House). The only thing I would not want now is such a large place to heat, having stayed in my family's castle in Scotland, which can be like Siberia, even in June. And no staff of significance to help run it. We now live in a modern condo with a maid. I miss the parkland, but we have an army of staff to take care of everything, (pool, squash, tennis, basketball), and all landscaping. And yes, obviously not in Strikeland, (aka UK).
why on earth would h&g have blurred a couple of nude males paintings? as if they were pornographic…
I could easily watch a series were each room is an episode. The history, architecture, furniture, it’s all magnificent! But the way they tell the stories is absolutely captivating. Love what they have done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Astounding designers of such a space can be challenging for most…their knowledge with such an incredible attention to detail make this space so beautiful and charming
It looks so unlivable..🙁
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 14days
Beautiful and inspiring, thank you!
What a treat! with two charming gentlemen who know how to enjoy life – with style.
