Off the principal bedroom there is a large bedroom which could be used as a study/nursery or larger dressing room. There are further well-proportioned bedrooms including three bedroom suites and 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from beautiful aspects either over the gardens or the church and are flooded with natural light. There is a one bedroom flat which can be found on the first floor which is in need of upgrading but would suit a nanny flat or staff accommodation. The second floor houses two cosy box rooms which could be used as additional accommodation.
Aswardby Hall is approached via an avenue of lime trees and sits in 12 acres of parkland. The house is surrounded by gardens on all sides, with landscaping and planting to the East and North designed by 6-time Chelsea Flower Show Gold medal winner and bbc Gardeners Question Time contributor, Bunny Guinness. The courtyard is landscaped with York stone and planted with yew hedging and specimen holm oak. The south terrace, with a pond and mature trees, is bounded by a ha-ha and has uninterrupted views across open countryside. The West garden has lawns surrounded by yew hedging and classical sculptures, bounded by an oriental garden and pond with woodland walk. The box-hedged walled garden to the North is planted with wildflowers and quince and almond trees. The parkland boasts a large lake and a six hole golf course which could be reinstated.
