Detached house for sale in Manor House, Cattal, Near Harrogate, North Yorkshire YO26

The sale of Manor House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented period residence with the added advantage of a potential self contained detached annexe/bungalow, subject to planning approval, in the centre of this small attractive village surrounded by open green belt countryside.
