The Old Schoolhouse is a remarkable detached, four-bedroom property that was originally constructed in the 1700s.
Initially commissioned under instruction of Lady Elizabeth Hastings, the eldest surviving daughter of the 7th Earl of Huntingdon, who devoted her inheritance to education and relieving poverty. As a result, she set up and endowed several schools across her late-father's estates.
Generations later, what remains is a fantastic family home with an abundance of unique and original features.
Not only would any potential buyers receive more than 2100 sq ft of accommodation in the main house, which is grandly separated into an East Wing and West Wing, but there is also a self contained one-bed cottage. This could be ideal for those looking to generate a second income.
The home benefits from a fantastic position for families seeking a rural location, bridal way network and great connectivity, being just seven miles from Leeds, nine miles from Harrogate and 20 miles from York.
The Old Schoolhouse is on the market with Monroe Estate Agents for offers over £1,000,000. Viewings are by appointment only, commencing Saturday, April 2. All photographs courtesy of Monroe.
