The Courthouse is set in large grounds offering a mix of fun and adventure for all the family. The property is part of a Grade II listed building, Maunby Hall, it has high ceilings on the first floor, plenty of space and dates back as far as the 1700s. The large open plan kitchen/dining room is definitely the social hub of the house. There is a large table, perfect for playing games with the family and a TV, mixed with a grand old Aga to keep the room warm, but don’t worry as there is a conventional oven and hob too. There is even a table football in one of the rooms just off the kitchen area, and the kitchen is linked to the large conservatory which is perfect in the summer for enjoying a drink whilst watching the sun go down, and the children play in the large, natural grounds. There is also a tennis court with carpet style surface - used once every couple of weeks by other local people.
The living room enjoys a wood burner along with an endless supply of wood and it has a large TV and even a piano. The bedrooms are all on the first floor and have high ceilings and some views of the open countryside. There is a games cupboard full of games and even a Laser Tag set for indoor and outdoor fun. The owners who lived here had so much fun in this house, and that’s how they want their guests to feel, that The Courthouse is a relaxing home from home in stunning surroundings. There are even countryside walks leading directly from the garden out into the countryside if you are feeling energetic.
