A house made for entertaining
From that magnificent hall, perfect for dancing, through to the grand kitchen, complete with two American style fridge freezers and four ovens, and on into the large, comfortable living rooms, Royd Moor Manor is made for people to fill it.
Spend your days splashing about in the hot tubs, or head for the top floor games room for table tennis, pool, table football and air hockey challenges. After dinner, round the long oak table big enough for everyone, settle back in style in the cinema room for a film or two.
A wall of bifold doors opens out onto the terrace, where there’s seating for up to 30 people and not one, but two hot tubs. There’s also an open, grassed garden, great for outdoor games or a summer picnic.
