Flat's incredible! Magnificent mansion is on sale in Yorkshire for less than the price of a one-bed
A magnificent historic mansion is on sale in Yorkshire for less than the price of a one-bedroom flat in west London.
The 19th century Grimston Manor near York has gone up for sale for the first time in 40 years valued at £1.75 million.
The six bedroom property comes with half an acre of grounds and stunning features throughout.
And at £1.75 million, it is valued lower than a number of one-bedroom flats currently being sold in Kensington, west London.
The property, which was rebuilt in the 19th century as an 'Italianate palace', comes with a grand staircase and library.
The 2nd Baron Howden commissioned Decimus Burton - who also created the enclosure of the forecourt of Buckingham Palace - to rebuild the property in 1839.

Tim Waring, from estate agents GSC Grays, said: 'This beautifully maintained home is now on the market for the first time in over four decades, presenting a truly unique and exceptional buying opportunity.
'Nestled within picturesque parkland the property retains many original features including a grand staircase while the library is now a wonderful 55ft long open plan living space.
'The property's location offers the best of both worlds – a country retreat that's also conveniently located to essential local amenities and transport options.'
Grimston Manor is entered by a 'sweeping gravelled driveway' and its own exclusive entrance.
The Manor extends overall to 5500 sq ft with formal reception rooms on the ground floor including the impressive open plan library space with the sitting area having the original shelving as the backdrop.
The ground floor has a central dining area and kitchen with a secret doorway leading to more storage space and a basement area where the wine cellar is.
The listing on Right Move says: 'The grand staircase is a focal point and leads to a central landing which has a studio/private office plus laundry on the northern side and the master bedroom suite to the south.
