This property is on the market for £8,000,000, listed with Savills.

This unique Grade II* listed country house in North Yorkshire is set in 2.58 acres of grounds (with an additional 47 acres available separately).

Set within a World Heritage Site, the property provides a rare opportunity to enjoy Studley Royal Park without the upkeep of a major estate.

Home to a substantial herd of deer, the 800-acre park was designed by famed landscape architect Capability Brown and is under the protection of the National Trust.

Studley Royal Deer Park also features beautiful and renowned 18th Century water gardens, fed by the river Skell which meanders past the ruins of Fountains Abbey.

It is within this incredible landscape that Studley Royal House is situated, accessed via a private road lined with lime trees, and surrounded by manicured and private formal grounds, with an Italian garden, central Lily-pond and stone fountain.

Inside the 8-bedroom, 9-bath Palladian house, fine period details abound with intricate plaster work, detailed cornicing, carved door surrounds, and working shutters on the elegant sash windows which overlook the courtyard and deer park beyond.

The magnificent country house is situated just a few files from the city of Ripon in North Yorkshire, England.
