Colorful Rooms in a Regency Manor House in Yorkshire

Sitting on an elevated plot, offering magnificent views of the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, stands this spectacular Regency manor house. The house was built around 1820 and was lovingly restored in recent years, reinstating the Regency elements in the interiors.

The historic house has seven bedrooms and wonderful ground floor spaces with beautiful period details and contemporary additions. The entire home is decorated in a palette of bold colors, either in paint shades or wallpapers, creating unique and vibrant spaces.

There are four equally sized rooms on the ground floor: a sitting room, a library, a dining room, and a kitchen. The sitting room is decorated in Edwardian style with a beautiful exotic wood fireplace, purple walls, and a decorative plaster frieze featuring a singing bird motif.

The library room is fitted with bespoke built-in bookcases painted in a deep blue shade, just like the walls. The room is centered around an original blue-veined marble fireplace.

The dining room is painted in a lighter shade of blue. One wall is fitted with the Little Greene ‘Brodsworth’ wallpaper. This wallpaper was inspired by early 18th-century French textiles and furnishings and was found at Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire.

The hallway is a spectacular entrance to the home. The front porch and floor tiles are a Victorian addition to the house, but the staircase is original from the Regency period.

The kitchen blends modern design with historical architecture. The contemporary pastel blue kitchen cabinets are paired with an original flagstone floor and a fireplace with a Victorian insert stove, with original ovens for baking and cooking.

The first floor echoes the floor plan of the ground floor. The four bedrooms all have an en-suite bathroom.

The master bedroom is painted in a lovely green tone with a freestanding bath in front of the window and a marble fireplace. The wall behind the bed is decorated with the ‘Glasshouse Green’ wallpaper from Graham & Brown.

A second bedroom features a bold color palette with yellow walls and the ‘Edo Toile Navy’ wallpaper by Graham & Brown.

The en-suite bathroom is decorated in a contrasting color palette with muted gray walls and window shutters paired with classic tiles.

The top floor is converted into a three-bedroom apartment with a huge living space with stone walls, exposed beams, and blue-painted joinery.

A modern blue kitchen with wooden countertop sits in the corner of the room.

Entry to the house is via a classical pilastered porch with glazed fanlight.

The house is listed for £1,190,000 at Inigo.
