Our Summary

This is a medieval hunting lodge and Victorian masterpiece reimagined as a romantic family home, with a stunning Jacobean Wing requiring renovation

Through the ages, distinguished owners have left their mark - from its origins in 1203 as a hunting lodge, through its gentrification in the 1600s and 1800s to sensitive renovations carried out in recent years

Every aspect of the restoration project has been undertaken with steadfast dedication, enlisting master craftsmen and the finest materials to create a home that not only honours its time-honoured architectural heritage but elevates it: a stained glass window displays the Bulmer coast of arms; grand double doors with an escutcheon Yorkshire rose have been replicated; and a tiled backdrop to the Aga displays a drawing by the Rowntree family, previous tenants of Riseborough Hall

The Jacobean wing, secured with a steel frame, requires complete renovation
