Sledmere House, Nr Driffield, Yorkshire

One of Yorkshire's premier stately homes, Sledmore House was built in 1751 by Sir Christopher Sykes, the 2nd Baronet. Joseph Rose, the celebrated plasterer of his time, was employed to decorate the interior and it was said, produced the best work of his career.
The house is set in parkland laid out by 'Capability' Brown and includes a beautiful walled rose garden and the recently added Knot garden.
The house interior features a magnificent staircase hallway which reverberates regularly to the music of a 51-stop pipe organ.
Currently occupied by Sir Tatton Sykes, the 8th Baronet, the house is one of a declining number of our stately homes with that 'lived-in' atmosphere and warmth.
