History:

Found on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Marske Hall Country Estate is a one-of-a-kind property, a truly unspoilt English country estate with a truly captivating history. The Marske estate was bought in 1596 by Matthew Hutton, then known as the Archbishop of York, whose son Timothy started work on the site in the late 16th or early 17th centuries. The main hall was remodelled & extended in about 1748, with later alterations, and remained in the same family for over 400 years.

With a rich history dating back almost 600 years, this home has only known two previous families as its owners, a testament to its enduring allure. Marske Hall is truly a remarkable place, effortlessly capturing your heart.
