Do you want to feel like a Duke or Duchess for a day?
In Bradford it’s entirely possible as there is a luxurious manor tucked away on Royds Hall Lane- and it looks like it has been taken straight out of the TV show, Bridgerton.
Best of all, you can rent the house yourself- that’s if you can afford the £3750 daily rental price.
For those who don’t know, Bridgerton is the Netflix series that television-lovers are raving about.
It is based on the Julia Quinn novel The Duke and I, following the journey elite families as they try to find love.
It’s set in the Regency era in England and the show is filled with costumes and buildings typical of the era.
Royds Hall Manor would have been the perfect filming location for the Netflix show as it has a period aesthetic- it has also been the temporary home for members of the royal family.
Royds Manor Hall is more than 800 years old and is even included in the Domesday book.
A lot of historical significance is attached to it too.
King Henry V actually gave the house to the Rooke family as a gift and this family became tenants of the land in the year 1313.
The Reverend Joseph Dawson wrote religious text at the house whilst local scientist Joseph Priestly may have discovered Oxygen there.
The property itself is breath-takingly beautiful; the privately owned road snakes up to the manor.
After you make your way through the wrought iron gates, you are taken to a substantial courtyard which could easily have been a backdrop to a Bridgerton scene.
There are many stunning entrances around the property, from the main courtyard entrance with its ancient Jacobean Key to the Georgian entrance.
The modern kitchen has a large AGA cooker and leads into a stunning Grade II listed breakfast room which was built according to the sun’s movement meaning you can enjoy breakfast in the sunshine.
The Great Hall boasts a stunning open fireplace and has been the party room to countless lavish parties over the centuries.
The medieval snug is where you go to unwind as it has a Grade II listed fireplace as well as a OLED Cinema TV.
Need to get some work done? You can conduct your business in the large office that has a distinctively historic feel.
The master bedroom is described as being “fit for a king” with views out to the Georgian gardens and lake on the left.
The room is “lavishly” furnished and even benefits from a huge walk-in wardrobe.
If you didn’t already feel like royalty, two of the bedroom even feature Swarovski Crystal Chandeliers.
While the property has a distinctively historic feel, it also has plenty of modern amenities.
It’s home to a well-equipped techno and lifestyle gym, as well as a fully loaded games room, music room with grand piano.
There is also a spa facility and guests can also take a dip in the endless swimming pool or jacuzzi with LED mood lighting.
Let your troubles melt away in the sauna or steam room, complete with a tropical rain shower.
Arguably, the gardens are the best part about the property as there are over 50 acres of land to explore.
You could waste countless house exploring the courtyards and well-maintained gardens- there are also six lawn gardens to choose from.
You can even take a walk in your very own private woods or take an amble down to the lake.
In the evenings, the gardens can be illuminated by hundreds of powerful stadium style super floods so you can continue you garden party well into the night.
