An ideal TV and film location
Acomb Grange is a period house designed by the well known architect, John Etty, in 1694 and was extensively remodelled in the Georgian period. Attached to the house is a cottage still much in the style of the period of the 1690s. Both house and cottage are timber beamed and have a number of interesting period features. The cottage is under separate ownership from Acomb Grange itself.
In the vicinity of the house are a number of outbuildings of a variety of dates, including an ancient barn thought to be the site of the last stand of the royalist army at Marston Moor in 1644. Some of the adjacent buildings are under separate ownership. There are very substantial stone remains from the 12th and 13th Centuries. The community of buildings is surrounded by the remains of a double moat, and set in a landscape of mature trees and gardens, including a magnificent copper beech of great age, and a walnut tree considered by experts to be one of the finest in the North of England.
The site is close to a site of special scientific interest and there is unusual flora and fauna.
Acomb Grange is available for location shooting and the adjacent site owners have indicated that they would also be open to negotiations.
