As Mr. Steve notes below, this is definitely a hotel but an attractive one which has been significantly updated since my last visit some 15 years ago. Back then it felt fairly original but very tired, now it clean and modern but nicely done.
As you enter the bar area is to the left with modern minimalist furniture and bar stools which were being used by a few chatty and friendly locals on my visit. To the right is rather a grand area with a traditional fireplace, a grand piano, leather furniture, wood and stone floors covered in rugs and chandeliers. It feels almost Art Deco in style. Beyond the bar is another largish area which I'd guess is used as a restaurant.
There were only two beers available on the four, I think, handpumps which were Woodforde's Wherry and Greene King St. Edmunds. My Wherry was alright but a little tired.
A smart spot but probably somewhere to stay or eat rather than visit for a session but still worth dropping in for a swifty.

More a country house hotel with posh restaurant rather than a pub, set on the Sandringham Estate some 9 miles from Norwich.
Has nine rooms and a large square dining room. But does have a fairly welcoming bar area with an open fireplace and comfy chairs.
And there were four ales available on the bar which , as well as GK St Edmunds Ale and OSH, included Woodforde Wherry and one from the local Humpty Dumpty brewery.
