A former stately home in Harrogate dating back to the 18th century will be converted back into housing after being used as offices.
North Yorkshire Council has approved plans to convert the grade II listed Bilton Court on Wetherby Road into a single home. Built in 1740 and close to the Great Yorkshire Showground, it’s described in planning documents as being a “jewel in the crown” of Harrogate.
A further extension will be built to be used as a garage and garden room and a warehouse building that is part of the site will also be converted into a separate home. Documents add: “It is proposed to convert the property back into a dwelling which we believe is more befitting of a property of this nature and will preserve and prolong the life of the building as it was first designed.
