It was bought by Giles Bowring’s parents in 1957 and passed to him and his wife Felicity in1987.

The Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house has four reception rooms, a study, dining kitchen, ancillary rooms, nine bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Its gardens are exquisite as Felicity is a talented gardener and there is also a tennis court. The estate, half an hour’s drive from Skipton and Kendal and close to rail links, has 545 acres, a lake, two cottages, a tenant farm, woodland, a pheasant shoot, flight pond and roe stalking and generates £79,000 a year in income

The Bowrings are selling to downsize and Giles says: “Leaving will be a wrench because this is such a very special place.”
