AN ELEGANT STATELY HOME AND ARCHITECTURAL GEM

Set in 45 acres of lush parkland, this magnificent Grade II listed mansion was built in the 1820s for Benjamin Rawson, a wealthy Bradford wool merchant. It’s rumoured to be the location where Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson first met. Today you can soak up its timeless grandeur, from the spacious dining room with its beautiful copper ceiling and high marble fireplace, to the grand staircase with its wrought-iron balustrades, and the huge stained-glass panels throughout the interior. Enjoy the good life as you sip your favourite drink in the cosy courtyard or embrace a peaceful stroll through the grounds, or perhaps head out to explore nearby Harrogate, Knaresborough and York.
