- description: "Ouse Manor is a substantial limestone constructed manor house of 18th Century and earlier origins. The house was altered at the beginning of the 19th Century when the main northern rooms were enlarged and a symmetrical Georgian façade added. The house is divided into the principal section and an east wing…Of particular note on the ground floor of the main house is the large reception/dining hall leading front to back and three further well proportioned reception rooms. There is a large kitchen/breakfast room with original Range cooker. At first floor level there is a large master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a wide galleried landing. The east wing is completely self-contained and has its own garden area separately fenced and will offer potential for re-incorporation into the main house or the maintenance of a separate unit for dependent relatives or to let. Adjacent to the house there is a fine range of period outbuildings which offer tremendous possibilities and space for stabling, garaging and storage. The property enjoys a pleasant southerly aspect looking out over its own delightful mature garden towards the River Ouse which flows along the southern boundary. In addition to the main house and lotted separately there is a substantial 19th century stone barn with adjacent walled garden which includes a timber Scandinavian style building housing an indoor swimming pool. At the drive entrance there is a separate grade II listed lodge cottage also lotted separately. The current owners have lived in the property since inheriting it in 1927. The house has formed the centre of a small Estate and the house has not been on the market for 80 years".
