Egton Guide House, in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors, is facing closure after a “severe damp problem” has left the house “uninhabitable.”

This popular residential home is in need of a new kitchen, new plastering in the downstairs rooms and new furniture in each room that has been affected by damp.
