    One of the most spectacular properties in the Harrogate district has gone on the market for £8 million.

    Studley Royal House is situated in the National Trust-owned Studley Royal deer park, with views across the park and beyond to Ripon Cathedral.

    The park, which extends to about 800 acres, was modelled by Capability Brown and is part of the only UNESCO world heritage site in Yorkshire.



    Located close to Fountains Abbey, the grade two listed house has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms and six reception rooms. The main bedroom has two en-suite bathrooms.

    The house was originally the stables for the Aislabie family’s mansion on the Studley Royal estate. It was occupied by Queen Ethelburga’s College during the war.



    Crispin Holborow, of agents Savills, said:

    "Studley Royal is a beautiful Palladian country house which lives up to its grade II* classification.
    "It sits within a World Heritage site, giving it complete protection as well as the opportunity to enjoy Studley Royal Park without the burden of management.
    "It is the perfect house for entertaining and requires minimum looking after."
