SITUATION Pinewood Manor stands in arguably one of the most beautiful private positions within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with unrivalled views to three sides. Approached off a private lane the home offers complete tranquility and yet is just a short drive from local amenities. The property borders the famous Swinton Estate and has the benefit of the glorious open countryside for walking and equestrian enthusiasts and, for those who enjoy the finer things in life, the Five Star Swinton Hotel and Spa is only a few miles away.
The Manor is located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, approximately 4 miles west of the popular market town of Masham. The town has a wide range of shops and other amenities, including a variety of local eateries and public houses, a primary school, a church and a doctor's surgery. The town is also home to the famous Black Sheep Brewery. A full range of facilities can be found either a 20 minute drive to the south in Ripon, or a similar distance north in the bustling Dales market town of Leyburn. Aysgarth Preparatory School, last year voted the best independent prep school in the country, is also close by.
The motorway network is within easy reach, also only a 20 minute drive away to the east. This offers good accessibility to West Yorkshire and Teesside conurbations as well as to York and Harrogate. There are also connections to the east coast mainline at Thirsk and Northallerton with regular connections to London Kings Cross.
DESCRIPTION Pinewood Manor is a property steeped in history. Constructed in 1905, the house was originally built by the Water Board, for their resident surveyors during the construction of the nearby reservoir and stands proudly on the hillside with fabulous views around. The individual home has been loved by the current occupiers who have made major improvements during their tenure. Beautifully decorated throughout, the home offers substantial accommodation of the Edwardian period. Many original features remain and the owners have cleverly combined these with modern improvements such as replacement bathrooms and the handmade kitchen, not to mention the fantastic addition of the recently refurbished staff cottage which is now being successfully let as a holiday destination.
Perfect for families wishing to purchase a piece of 'God's own County', the accommodation briefly comprises:
To the ground floor:
To the front of the property is a covered veranda with stunning Italian ceramic tiled floor, which provides a glorious elevated seating area perfect for enjoying evening drinks. The entrance door off the veranda leads to the entrance porch and into the inner hall. The music room/library to the left has a dual aspect and feature 1930's stove. Stripped timber flooring runs through the reception rooms.
To the right of the hall is the delightful drawing room, which boasts a superb fireplace with wooden surround and integral bevelled mirror, and hammered Arts and Crafts decorative copper plates. The family room/sitting room is a large space that has a wood-burning stove plus an additional feature fireplace, cornicing, and large windows to two sides letting the light flood in. The kitchen is the hub of the home and the large centre island and Aga are sure to have hosted many functions over the years. Off the kitchen is every mother's dream, a huge pantry providing amazing storage for any unsightly clutter, and there is an open back staircase to the rear against a feature wall. Off the inner hall is the utility area, which incorporates a laundry and cloakroom/w.c.
To the first floor:
A beautiful central landing leads to the balcony to the front and provides access to the attic. The attic could be converted to further accommodation subject to building regs consent. The principal bedroom is positioned centrally and the windows boast stunning views over the valley. The bedroom leads to a dressing room and ensuite shower room. There are five further bedrooms, two good sized bathrooms and a linen store.
The cottage:
To the rear of the house is a superb cottage. The owners have cleverly converted this to provide a delightful holiday/air bnb location which would not look out of place in a spa resort. With beautiful bedroom and freestanding bath the property offers something special for those wanting a romantic getaway.
The swimming pool complex:
To the the rear of the main house steps lead to the swimming pool complex. This consists of a heated pool with changing facilities and seating area, its large floor to ceiling windows again enjoying far reaching views over the valley.
OUTSIDE The property is perfect for those who value privacy, with only one other property adjacent. It sits centrally amongst delightful gardens which have a variety of mature trees and shrubs. With a stream bounding one side, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are perfect for young families. The return driveway leads to the front of the house and gives space for the parking of multiple vehicles. For equestrian enthusiasts, there is a stable block with three loose boxes, barn and tack room plus a paddock which was formerly an arena. The present owners have advised us that they currently rent a further 8 acres from the Swinton Estate at a peppercorn rent.
