King Charles has turned a royal retreat at Sandringham into a posh £6,300 ($A13,000)-a-week holiday home open to all.
According to The Sun, the British monarch refurbished the three-bed Victorian house The Folly.
Once the love-nest of Edward VII and his mistress Lillie Langtry, the property is said to feature royal artefacts, to be fitted out “to the highest standard” and blending “timeless heritage with refined, contemporary comfort”, can sleep up to six.

Located on the private woodland of the estate in Norfolk, holiday-makers can now follow in the footsteps of royalty by staying in the retreat.
Visitors willing to fork out £6,300 ($A13,000) a week — the going rate in the school holidays — can go up the fairytale-like turret to look out over the estate.
Downstairs, guests can walk through French doors from the drawing room onto the lawn, or get dinner ready in the kitchen — complete with a butler sink.

Agency Oliver’s Travels, which is marketing the house, states: “With input from the Sandringham team, The Folly honours its romantic past while embracing modern comfort.
“Period features — stone hearths, arched entryways, hand-finished doors — have been lovingly preserved.
“Throughout the house, royal artefacts from the private collection add depth and authenticity.”
