Location

Carriage House is part of an exclusive private residential hamlet at Plompton Hall that dates back to the 1760’s and was designed by the famous Architect John Carr who also originated Harewood House and much of Harewood village, for Daniel Lascelles. Carriage House at Plompton Hall was formerly part of the Harewood estate until the 1950’s when it was reacquired by the Plumpton family in the 20th century. Situated to the south of Harrogate and accessed via a privately owned and maintained driveway through open farm parkland, this property offers the best of both worlds in terms of countryside living but also close proximity to Harrogate, market towns Knaresborough and Wetherby, the motorway network and the commercial centre of Leeds. Plumpton Rocks is nearby to the property and is 30 acres of parkland walks set around a man-made lake designed by Daniel Lascelles. The lake, woodland, parkland and dam have recently been restored to their 18th century glory. Plumpton has been described as the finest 18th century picturesque garden in Britain.
