Overview

One of the most stunning listed houses in Nidderdale, just 4 miles west of Harrogate, which enjoys breathtaking views and occupies a wonderful position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Manor House is a charming and much admired Grade II listed detached property, built by the Hare-Gill family circa 1837. The Aagaard family renovated the house in the latter 20th century restoring the magnificent fireplaces and cornices being "in the business" working alongside the National Trust and owning a well respected fireplace business in Knaresborough. At this time, ancillary buildings were known as "Camps Cathedral", from which the local schools' Duke of Edinburgh expeditions were mounted. In more recent years the property has been the subject of an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment and modernisation program, resulting in the creation of a beautiful family home. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and features elegantly proportioned rooms with generous ceiling heights, original fireplaces and working shutters. It occupies a superb position, discreetly nestled into the grounds, surrounded by established copse, high garden walls and beech hedges which provide privacy without detracting from the panoramic views over beautiful Nidderdale countryside. Approached via a double stone pillared entrance with wrought iron double electric gates a private winding driveway opens to the Manor House courtyard taking full advantage of its elevated position having stone terraces and formal gardens to the south and east.
