Rudding Estate is a beautifully appointed, exclusive collection of offices, homes and leisure services, utilising converted period stone buildings. The Estate is 1300 acres of prime Yorkshire countryside around the pretty village of Follifoot, just 3 miles from Harrogate town and a short drive from Leeds, York and major transport links.
Dating back to the 1700's, Rudding Estate was centred around Rudding House and Follifoot within the forest of Knaresborough.
In 1972 The Mackaness family purchased the Estate and set upon major development of properties and facilities, including conversion of farm dwellings and providing mains services for all properties.
In 2003 Mark Mackaness became custodian of the Estate where he remains dedicated to ensuring that all aspects of the Estate are developed to the highest standards with the emphasis on quality at all times.
Complementing the office and residential rentals, the Estate comprises 1,100 acres of arable and grassland together with 200 acres of forestry. These compliment the properties because the land offers refreshing country views, invigorating walks, wonderful surroundings, easy parking and a certain exclusivity.
Set just 3 miles from the affluent spa town of Harrogate and surrounding the picturesque village of Follifoot, Rudding Estate is one of the most convenient locations for a office let or home to rent. Harrogate was voted the 'Happiest Place to Be' in the UK by Rightmove in 2015 and in 2017 was 3rd in the UK and voted 'Best Place to Be' in Yorkshire and Humber.
