A spectacular Grade II listed manor house surrounded by stunning countryside outside Harrogate, which has a converted barn, guest cottage, extensive outbuildings and sits in almost five acres of landscaped grounds, is for sale with estate agent, Dacre, Son & Hartley.

East End Manor, located between Norwood and Beckwithshaw, has been sympathetically remodelled, extended and improved by the current owners, who have owned it since 1982, and throughout the project they were careful to retain all the character and charm of the main house, part of which dates from approximately 1560.

The house boasts two magnificent reception rooms with large inglenook fireplaces, a separate sitting room and a kitchen / breakfast room with a vaulted pantry.

The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and dressing room as well as a private study or nursery bedroom, and there are three further family bedrooms and three bath or shower room facilities.

A cleverly created two-bedroom cottage is a perfect living space for visitors or dependant relatives and this is connected to the Manor House by a substantial two storey barn, which is currently configured at ground floor level as a wine cellar and an extensive array of storage rooms. On the first floor of the barn is a large self-contained studio or home office with its own kitchen, shower room and WC.

Sophie Tillisch, branch manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley's Harrogate office, said: “East End Manor is a quintessential period home with early 16th century origins in beautiful open countryside. When the main house is combined with the 2,600 sq ft barn, it creates a breathtaking 6,200 sq ft home, that will provide an endless range of possibilities for the new owners.

“Crucially, although the property offers panoramic views of sprawling countryside, it's still less than a 15-minute drive from Harrogate and approximately 40-minutes from both Leeds and Bradford city centres, as well as being just 20-minutes from Leeds Bradford Airport. We're anticipating strong interest in East End Manor because historic homes in this sought after location are so few and far between.”

East End Manor is approached via remote controlled entrance gates with forecourt parking for numerous vehicles and there's a large, detached garage with four remote controlled entrance doors, a hydraulic ramp and inspection pit.

Extensive landscaped ornamental gardens are screened by a combination of mature trees and walling and there is a generous garden or entertaining room complete with its own kitchen.

The property is for sale with a guide price of £3million. For more details and to arrange a viewing contact Dacre, Son & Hartley's Harrogate office on 01423 877200 or visit www.dacres.co.uk
