Manor Farm House is a beautifully appointed property which provides surprisingly spacious accommodation and is Listed Grade II, being of architectural and historic interest. The house can be dated back to 1700 but its origins may well be earlier. In an unm odernised state upon acquisition from the Estate, the subsequent renovation project transformed the property into a beautiful, charming and practical family home with all the usual modern comforts yet respecting the character and integrity of the original dwelling.

The accommodation briefly consists of: entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, large dining room and study/ snug, spacious drawing room with French windows opening onto the patio and garden. The spectacular farmhouse kitchen, the heart of the house, boasts a four oven Aga and has a wonderful floor of hand thrown brick and quarry tiles. Off the kitchen a large wa lk in pantry, utility room and cloakroom make this a perfect family friendly space. To the first floor there is an impressive master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a further three bedrooms and two house bathrooms. Throughout the house there are many int eresting original features and all the sash windows afford stunning views over the garden, surrounding countryside and Yorkshire Wolds. Central heating is oil fired, with cast iron radiators throughout.

The gardens are large and amount to a little over on e acre in total; these have been thoughtfully laid out to create areas of interest throughout the year. As well as formal rose beds and shrub borders there is a well stocked orchard, vegetable patch, soft fruit cages, extensive lawn and many specimen trees . The property is approached via a gravelled drive, leading to a detached double garage. Both the Wolds Way and Centenery Way footpaths pass by, presenting opportunities for anyone looking to create a bed and breakfast business.

Located off the A64 at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds with the Wolds Way nearby, Potter Brompton is a quiet rural hamlet within the parish of Ganton. It is within easy reach of the coastal resorts of Scarborough and , 13 miles from Malton and 30 mile s from York. Within Potter Brompton there is a farm bakery and shop, whilst at Ganton, only ½ a mile away there is a church, pub and prestigious championship golf course. Potter Brompton was listed in The Doomsday Book when it was known as Brunetona. Afte r 1630 the village became part of the Ganton Estate and shortly after the Potter Brompton Manor House was demolished.

The gardens and grounds are delightful and wrap around three sides of the house. Despite the large size, they have been designed in such a way that they are relatively easy to maintain. Predominantly laid to lawn with an abundance of naturalized bulbs, cowslips and many trees interspersed with flowering shrub borders, herbaceous borders and spring bulbs, there is something of interest in every corner and year-round interest. As well as being an attractive garden it is also a productive one as it includes a well stocked fruit orchard with apple, pear, plum, damson and greengage; soft fruit
