Historic Red House was built in 1835 by Peter Hobson, whose son George Andrew Hobson was the engineer behind the famous bridge built in 1905.
Original features can still be seen throughout the property, from Yorkshire stone flagged flooring, to the open spindle and baluster staircase, ornate fireplaces, sash windows, and detailed cornicing.
A spacious reception hall with an elegant staircase leads through to the main reception rooms.
The drawing room features a striking marble fireplace with coal-effect gas fire and large windows overlooking the gardens.
This opens to a charming library or study with bespoke bookshelves.
A formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, with an impressive fireplace, and a rear hallway leads to extensive cellars.
There is fitted cabinetry in the kitchen with breakfast room, along with granite and timber worktops, glazed display units, an integrated dishwasher, and a two-oven Aga.
A charming built-in window seat allows for informal dining.
To complete the ground level there's a cloakroom or w.c..
On the first floor, a split-level landing leads to the principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom features a cast iron fireplace, and a traditional family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms.
