The Grade I-listed Georgian house is owned by the Wyvill family, and is not generally open to the public. It can be hired for weddings and special events, and has been included in the Little Green Book for its shoot, which Tatler claim is the best in Yorkshire. There are 3,000 acres of sporting grounds, and an on-site chef will cook for clients. Helicopter transfers even land in the gardens.
