Gilling Lodge, High Street, Gilling West, Richmond

In Brief
Set close to the heart of the Yorkshire Dales within the pretty village of Gilling West just three miles from the historic market town of Richmond, Gilling Lodge is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian Manor House which has been sympathetically restored to exacting high standards.

With many stunning countryside walks on the doorstep, Gilling West hosts several award-winning dining destinations including a gourmet public house with deli and farm shops within easy reach. The main Georgian town of Richmond, just a short drive away, offers everything you would expect from a traditional Yorkshire town featuring a number of recreational facilities including a golf course, swimming pool and leisure complex, cinema and the many superb restaurants, cafes and bars associated with this very fashionable district.

There are excellent communications close by with a main line rail service to London in Darlington as well as the A1 providing access both north and south of the county.

The galleried landing on the first floor leads to five double bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms (three en-suite) with a sixth bedroom and bath/dressing room on the second floor. The impressive 20ft x 16ft master bedroom with integrated audio-visual system features a stunning en-suite bathroom with central free-standing bath and double walk-in shower plus a separate dressing room with panoramic views over the gardens and countryside beyond.
