Description This delightful country house is believed to have origins dating back to 1584 but was considerably remodelled and extended around the turn of the last century to create a larger home of undoubted character and style. Myerscough House has been within the same family for many years and is equally well suited as a family home as for entertaining with impressively proportioned principal reception rooms, a leisure suite with a swimming pool and a self contained apartment for staff or dependents within the main house. The Billiard Room is especially elegant with a dual aspect and a wonderful strapped ceiling.
