IT looks at first sight like an historic house from the Georgian era – but this is in fact a brand new property, about to go on the market for a cool £1.85 million.
The luxury home, called King’s Guinea, has been built in neo-classical style in the grounds of the former Knavesmire Manor Hotel in Tadcaster Road.
Developer John Reeves of the Helmsley Group purchased the old hotel – itself set to be turned into a grand family house – and then achieved planning permission for the new house, said Louise Hirst, of agents Carter Jonas.
