Dowthorpe Hall

A long, tree lined drive acts as a gracious entrance to this late Georgian house with strong literary connections to the writer Winifred Holtby. Separate from the working farm, Dowthorpe stands in a magnificent garden, which reflects the unquestionable talents of its owners!

Beautifully decorated reception rooms, the drawing room and dining room being of particular architectural interest, have enchanting views over the countryside.Delightful bedrooms beckon and whether you are ensconced in the double, with its' large canopied bed or the twin with antique four foot mahogany beds, both with pristine bathrooms, you will experience true luxury.

Three and a half acres, open under the National Gardens Scheme, have been expertly designed by Caroline who has blended traditional country house form with accents of contemporary inspiration - creating stunning herbaceous borders, hot colour perennial borders, a pond and gravel garden not to mention the vegetable garden which supplies the kitchen. There is also a delightful summer house, swimming pool and croquet lawn.
