INTRODUCTION

The Manor House sits in its own grounds in the heart of the delightful and convenient village of Husthwaite and enjoys far reaching views towards the Hambleton Hills and the White Horse. Positioned next to the 12th century Norman Church, the property was first recorded in the Kings Exchequer for 1167 with the site having a number of interesting buildings and remnants of the original Manor Hall which was built after the conquest. The current house is roughly on the same footprint of the ‘Old Manor’, built after the demolition of ‘The Manor Hall’, following the Civil War and restoration of the Monarchy.

The current house, however, was built just after the beginning of the 20th century and is incredibly spacious with a number of large reception rooms and five good sized bedrooms (with their Edwardian fireplaces intact) and could be easily upgraded and remodelled to suit modern day family needs.

The property has scope to extend and develop further with the necessary planning permissions as well as potential to create further accommodation in the outbuildings (again with planning permission). For those with equestrian interests there are stables and a saddle room as well as a useful covered fold yard and fenced paddocks. The area is well known for the network of bridleways and footpaths to get out and enjoy the area on foot or on horseback!

To the front of the house is a pretty and enclosed garden laid to lawn and surrounded by established plants and shrubs. To the side is a larger lawned garden with well placed sitting areas to make the most of the incredible views of rolling countryside across to the Hambleton Hills and the White Horse. The paddocks surround the outbuildings and are circa 2.5 acres.

The Manor House is a wonderful family home in a beautiful part of the world, only a walk to the village primary school and pub, and is ready for the next owner to ‘put their stamp’ on it and maximise its potential.
