AN incredible 17th-century manor house in the Bradford district is on the market for just under £3 million.
This 17th-century Grade II listed manor house in Tong Village has gone up for sale for the first time in over 30 years for £2,950,000.
The property features an extensive leisure complex with indoor swimming pool.
It truly is spectacular.
Situated at Manor House, Keeper Lane, the property boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and four reception rooms, according to the listing.
It used to be owned by Kirkstall Abbey
On an historic note it was once owned by Kirkstall Abbey where the monks would convalesce and The Priest hole and tunnel that used to lead to Tong Hall was used for a quick exit by the Catholic Priests.
Described as “beautifully restored to a high standard”, the residence stands within private grounds of approximately three acres and features two manmade lakes, one with a central fountain.
Access to the house is through electric gates and along a sweeping driveway that leads to a forecourt providing parking for numerous vehicles, as well as a double garage, implement store, and an oak framed carport.
There is also a detached stone building, which the listing notes could be suitable for use as a home office or additional accommodation.
