The Manse | Broughton Sanctuary

The Manse
An ideal house to unite friends, family, or colleagues, especially when the moment calls for a spacious and awe-inspiring venue.
Former Priest Residence
The Manse is a spacious, four-bedroom private sanctuary to unwind without distraction. It features sash windows with views out to our nature recovery fields and surrounding woodland.
The Manse, once the residence of the estate's Priest, has been transformed into a spacious and inviting four-bedroom private sanctuary, offering a serene escape from the demands of the outside world. Dating back to the mid-19th century, this Skipton holiday cottage retains some of its period charm, with thoughtfully integrated modern features that harmonise with its natural surroundings, elevating the rural cottage experience.
Passing through the eye-catching pink front door, you'll step into a magnificent kitchen that any culinary enthusiast would envy. Fully equipped to cater to large groups, it includes an integrated dishwasher, induction hob, and double oven, while the kitchen island encourages convivial socialising.
Memorable meals are best enjoyed in the Ercol-inspired dining room, where panoramic views of the rolling hills provide a picturesque backdrop. Just across the hallway, a laid-back drawing room awaits, complete with a private library and the original open fireplace, perfect for unwinding. The ground floor also features a utility room, a separate boot room, a convenient water closet, and a private study room.
Upstairs, you'll find four Super King/twin bedrooms, each individually designed and luxuriously adorned, offering tranquil rural vistas. All four bedrooms come with en suite bathrooms, featuring either a freestanding bath or a rejuvenating shower. On the ground floor, the private study room can serve as an additional single bedroom for a ninth guest or for anyone with mobility challenges who cannot access the upper level.
To the left of the kitchen, a stunning conservatory takes centre stage, strategically positioned to maximize the sweeping countryside views. It overlooks a walled kitchen garden with raised flower beds brimming with herbs and medicinal plants, ideal for daytime gatherings, al fresco dining, or evening aperitifs. The Manse is embraced by a charming lawned garden and enveloped by serene woodlands, where native Robins, Goldcrests, Jackdaws, and Great Tits make their home.
Please note: The Manse comprises four double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and the downstairs study can serve as a fifth single bedroom for additional guests or those with limited mobility who cannot access the upper floors.
With an exhilarating, expansive nature restoration initiative encompassing over 3,000 acres of woodlands, moors, and wildflower meadows, Broughton Sanctuary serves as an idyllic natural playground for you to explore during your visit.
Consider immersing yourself in the serene practice of forest bathing, indulging in invigorating wild swimming adventures, or savouring the unique experience of woodland dining.
