They are being let by the Sandringham Estate, which rents properties in 13 villages around the Queen’s residence.

The estate is letting the houses as primary residences and gives priority to those who live or work in the area – but people moving to Norfolk are also considered.

It states properties are not let on a first come, first served basis but ‘rather on which prospective tenant is best suited to the property.’

Historically, most of the houses in the village were occupied by people who worked at the Georgian mansion or elsewhere on the Royal estate.

Anmer, which is on the royal estate at Sandringham, lies around 12 miles north-east of King’s Lynn and 35 miles west of Norwich.

In the 2001 census it had a population of 63 in 29 households. In the past, most of the houses in the village were occupied by people who worked at Anmer Hall.

Anmer Hall was a wedding gift to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from the Queen and around £1.5 million was spent upgrading the mansion before they moved in around 2013.

Anmer village has a variety of entertainment, including a social club offering film nights, quiz evenings and barbeques, an active Bowls Club and a Women’s Institute. It also has a 14th century church, St Mary the Virgin.
