From the Wikipedia article
Hoveton Hall in the parish of Hoveton in Norfolk is a Regency-style country house made of gault brick with a slate roof. It was built between 1809 and 1812, on or near the site of the previous ancient manor house of the same name, by Mrs Christabell Burroughes (1764-1843), daughter and heiress of Henry Negus (1734-1807) of Hoveton Hall, an attorney, and wife of James Burkin Burroughes (1760-1803) of Burlingham Hall, Norfolk. The architect was Humphry Repton. It is a well-preserved historic house of significance on the English Heritage Register. The Negus family had been seated at Hoveton Hall for several generations. The surrounding estate today consists of 120 acres of gardens and parkland and 450 acres of arable land as well as picturesque woodland. The gardens are open to the public during part of the year and there are facilities available for accommodation and special events including weddings.

Background
History
The exact site of the previous manor house, also called Hoveton Hall, demolished when the new house was built in 1809, is unknown as no part of it survives. However Basil Cozens-Hardy concluded, having analysed old maps and data: "it would seem that the original Hall was near the kitchen garden in the park, as a map and schedule of about 1840 (see map below) calls the field to the south-west "the Old Hall Close” (a "close" being an old term for an enclosed field). Moreover in Faden’s map of 1797 (see image) the Hall is shown at this point with an avenue running down to the road."
