Mansfield House is a Grade ll-listed property that was built in 1788 by Mrs Wilks of the nearby Granby Hotel, to replace a nearby barn where she had previously helped promote theatre performances.
The theatre closed in 1830 and it later became a private residential property that retains many period features.
It overlooks the protected 200-acre Harrogate Stray, and is within easy walking distance of the town centre.
Its accommodation includes a reception and staircase hall, four good size reception rooms, a main and a side kitchen, and versatile cellars.
Further to these is a drawing room or principal bedroom, four more bedrooms, three bathrooms and a small kitchen.
A private courtyard garden lies to the rear of the house.
Among many striking features within the property is a Georgian staircase with natural light cascading from a tall landing window, some fine fireplaces, and detailed ceiling plasterwork.
A front vestibule leads on to the drawing room, a snug or study, the sitting room and dining room.
Two kitchens, a bathroom and main and secondary staircases are at ground floor level, while to the lower ground floor are two storage cellars.
A first floor drawing room could function as a large main bedroom, with the three further bedrooms and bathroom.
Above, on the second floor, is another en suite bedroom.
The attractive courtyard garden displays mature plants, climbers and a wisteria.
All the main rooms in Mansfield House have views over The Stray, and for anyone wishing to commute, transport links are easily accessible.
