boroughbridge-hall

An historic grade II listed mansion house in Boroughbridge has gone on the market with an asking price of £3 million.

Boroughbridge Hall is in the centre of the town and is believed to date back to the time of James II.

Its royal links do not end there, however, as its marketing documents explain:

"The house itself dates back to the late 17th century, during the short reign of King James II, and is grade II listed.
"The current owner recently granted the grounds of Boroughbridge Hall use by the reigning British monarch for ceremonial purposes, evidence of the property’s regional status."


Boroughbridge Hall's sitting room

It has been brought to the market by estate agency Croft, based near York.

Sales negotiator Sarah Weston said:

"When you go through the gates, you are right on the market square – it's very handy but very, very private.
"The current owners have been there for 20 years. It has been a wonderful family home and now it's open for a new family to take control and use it like they have."


The house has has five bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a separate studio and en suite shower room attached to the large garage.

It has planning permission for the studio to be extended into an open barn which lies behind the garage.

Outside, the grounds extend to more than three acres and include fishing rights, as well as woodland, three paddocks and a tennis court.

Boroughbridge Hall's kitchen

Though the house is historic, the agent said it has been remodelled and maintained with many of its historic features still in place. The particulars say:

"Boroughbridge Hall dates from the 1680s with the front porch added in 1830. It was remodelled in 1947 to reduce its height from three storeys to two.
"Many fine architectural features remain including tall sash windows and bays, wall panelling, architraves, cornicing, fireplaces, panelled doors, cast iron column radiators and a superb rebuilt oak staircase faithfully following a seventeenth century design."


Ms Weston said while Boroughbridge Hall is an unusual property to come to the market, Croft is often asked to take on the marketing of large and historic houses.

It is also advertising Littlethorpe Hall near Ripon for sale at offers over £2.25 million. The Victorian building sits in more than 13 acres of grounds, with a separate lodge house and its own chapel.

She added:

"With houses like these, you never know who's going to buy it.
"It could be a tech genius who's earned millions and wants a quiet life somewhere, or a family sizing up gradually, moving bigger and bigger.
"There was a massive splurge of people moving up to Yorkshire after covid. Some have decided there's not enough up here for them, but some are still doing it.
"People can afford more here, but still be in London in a couple of hours. We've got the best of every world."
