About this property

Mansfield House is a historic building in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in 1788, as the first purpose-built theatre in the town. Performances had previously been conducted in a nearby barn, behind the Granby Hotel. The theatre closed in 1830, and its interior was entirely altered, to serve as lodgings. It was later converted into three houses: Mansfield House in the central section, flanked by Mansfield Cottage and Mews Cottage.
