Handsome hall in North Yorkshire
Once part of the Wilberforce estate, Ingerthorpe Hall is a beautiful country house that offers outstanding views to the Hambleton Hills.


Ingerthorpe Hall is a beautiful detached country house that dates back to 1771. It occupies a discreet setting near Markington, a small village in the Yorkshire Dales tucked between Harrogate and Ripon.
This detached country house has been substantially extended over the years and now forms a wonderful family property with spacious reception rooms, light interiors and exposed beams. Accomodation in total comprises: reception hall, drawing room, dining room, cloakroom, morning room, kitchen and pantry, wine store, utility room, office and boiler room. Upstairs, past a generous landing with nursery room, is the master bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom, a further four double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property is set amidst large, leafy gardens. There are also two paddocks which lie to the south and east respectively, perfect for a family pony. In total, the gardens, grounds and land extend to 15 acres and if this immediate idyll isn't enough, wonderful views extend to the north east towards The White Horse and the Hambleton Hills.
Ingerthorpe Hall also offers a range of traditional outbuildings. To the east of the property are Ingerthorpe Hall Cottages, a pair of pretty semi-detached 2 bedroom cottages, set in large gardens. There is also a double garage, a stable and granary which offer further development opportunities.
The village of Markington offers a range of facilities including a primary school, a village shop, post office, two pubs and a church. Further amenities can be found a short distance away in Harrogate (9 miles) and Ripon (5 miles).
Ideally located for the commuter, Ingerthorpe Hall is 10 miles away from the recently upgraded A1(M). Rail services also operate from Harrogate and provide access to mainline stations in Leeds and York.
Whilst in need of some modernisation and refurbishment, Ingerthorpe Hall presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a handsome country house in a picturesque, unspoilt Yorkshire location.
