Dating back to the 17th century, with later additions, this magnificent Jacobean style manor house is arguably one of North Yorkshire's finest houses.

The ground floor comprises a sizeable 37 foot drawing room, the real centre piece of the accommodation, along with a less formal sitting room, music room, library and kitchen. The rooms are in keeping with the architecture of its time with many featuring striking exposed beams, wooden paneling and feature fireplaces.
