Swinton Grange

Surrounded by the picturesque parkland of Yorkshire’s Swinton Estate, this inviting historic house provides ample space for a gathering of friends or family. Guests enjoy complimentary access to the Country Club and spa at Swinton Park Hotel, with its numerous well-regarded restaurants and cafés also lying within easy reach. Comprising 20,000 acres of quintessentially beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, the wider estate is dedicated to protecting wildlife habitats and offers endless opportunities to explore its diverse landscapes – from calming lakeside walks to days on the trails in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

On the ground floor, a bright hallway with a neighbouring utility room, bathroom, and plenty of storage for coats and boots leads to the spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. With a large island surrounded by stools, sleek cream cabinets, and original beams overhead, the kitchen is a welcoming space in which to shake up a cocktail and cook evening meals. Filled with natural light through the doors and sash windows which lead out to the garden, the kitchen flows into the living area where three cosy sofas gather around a log burner. The elegant dining room can also be found on this floor, where high-backed patterned chairs border an antique wooden table. With plenty of mood lighting and original features, it’s the ideal room in which to enjoy a Sunday roast or celebrate a special occasion.

A downstairs snug is home to a sofa bed while the bedrooms all lie upstairs. A super king size bedroom is set beneath characterful vaulted beams and enjoys beautiful garden views through the windows. An ensuite bathroom lies next door with a combined bath and shower, cream wooden panelling, and forest-green tiles. The two further super king size rooms are each decorated with original artworks and elegant textiles, one of which enjoys access to a bathroom through its own separate vestibule which boasts an inviting bath and walk-in shower. A family bathroom can also be found on this floor, while a single room features a handy trundle bed below which is perfect for children.

Outside, a wonderful covered patio area is set beside a flourishing wildflower meadow. With relaxed seating, a barbecue, and an outdoor dining table, it’s the perfect place to socialise on warmer evenings. An expansive lawn complete with football posts lies beyond the meadow, while the wood-fired hot tub around the corner from the patio is ideal for luxurious evenings spent unwinding. You’ll find the fire pit tucked away amidst the wildflowers, encircled by stone seating for toasting marshmallows on starry nights.

With over 200 acres of parkland and gardens on your doorstep and the invigorating hills of Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales within easy reach, the house allows you to make the most of some of the country’s most remarkable landscapes. This wild beauty is combined with all the creature comforts and family activities to be enjoyed within the bounds of the estate – from bike hire to spa treatments and photography courses – with free taster sessions rendering it the perfect spot to try something new and enjoy the very best the area has to offer.
