As you would expect, it has changed much since then, mostly noticeably thanks to a programme of renovation by the Aagaard family in the late 20th century when they restored the impressive fireplaces and cornices working alongside the National Trust and using their vast experience as owners of a well-respected fireplace business in Knaresborough . In more recent years the property has been the subject of an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment and modernisation programme which has resulted in the creation of the stunning family home that’s looking for a new owner today. Old sits comfortably alongside new in Manor House, where elegantly proportioned rooms with generous ceiling heights, original fireplaces and working shutters are brought into the modern era with a Nest-controlled oil-fired central heating system, hard wired superfast broadband, a CCTV security and alarm system and an irrigation system for the gardens and pond.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and comprises, in brief, a main reception hall with stone flagged floor; magnificent drawing room with feature open fireplace, moulded half panelled walls, stone flagged floor and French doors out onto the south-facing terrace/gardens, and a study with a feature fireplace and a recessed solid fuel burning stove, solid oak floors and double doors to the gardens. Also on the ground floor are a dining room with an open fireplace, solid oak floors and double French doors into the gardens; a snug with a bespok.
