A stunning manor house that has been in the same family for 425 years has gone on sale for £1.25million.
Rawdon Hall in Leeds, west Yorkshire, has been put on the market for the first time since being built by George Rawdon in the late 1500s.
It's the first time the 17th century Grade II listed property is being sold outside of the Rawdon family.
The luxurious family home boasts seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and incredible rural views.
Its grounds extend to around 3.86 acres, with huge gardens, a limestone rockery with a waterfall and pond, woodland and a pair of paddocks.
A Coach House is also said to be included in the property, which has been described as a 'rare gem'.
The mansion has stone fireplaces, oak panelling and stained glass windows which were installed in the 1940s.
Estate Agents Dacre, Son and Hartley wrote on their listing: "The property has seen many comings and goings over the generations including the requisition of the house by the Queen's Westminster's Infantry Regiment during the Second World War (with a recorded visit by field Marshal Montgomery), whilst family lore suggests Charlotte Bronte visited in 1841 and potentially wrote of her time at the fictional ''Thornfield Hall'.
"A new dawn beckons for Rawdon Hall, the property offering an exciting opportunity for regeneration and the creation of a stunning and vibrant family home.
"The hall stands amidst grounds extending to around 3.86 acres, with expansive gardens, limestone rockery with waterfall and pond, former lawn tennis court, mature woodland and a pair of paddocks to the north and west."
The property is within walking distance to local shops and has surrounding towns nearby, and is just seven miles from Leeds.
Harrogate is just 14 miles away and Rawdon has access to open countryside and moors where you can enjoy stunning walks, mountain biking and cycling.
