A characterful 17th century manor house remodelled by James Murgatroyd, a cloth merchant from Halifax. The house and buildings have distinctive architectural details and are set in mature grounds with beech trees, a pond and a turf maze.
The house has a wonderful ambience and is furnished with textiles, Yorkshire oak furniture and pewter. There is also a handling collection for you to discover. The Starkie Wing façade provides a dramatic backdrop to the garden planted with lavender, flowers and a fragrant herb border which is based on Culpeper's Herbal. Wild flowers, bulbs, perennials and apple trees, provide a changing carpet of colour throughout the year in the orchard garden. A magnificent 17th century oak framed barn also stands in the grounds. Events throughout the year. Ring for details.
