Whether it’s returning from a day’s riding in the heathered uplands of the North York Moors, shopping in York, or even the school run —when you turn the key to this Beautiful House in Yorkshire, worth over £2,500,000, you’ll be the hero of your own period novel again and again. This six bedroom, Georgian gem is set in acres of paddocks, orchards and gardens overlooking the Vale of Pickering and its ancient towns and pretty villages. Stately symmetry, heritage chimneys and a handsome neoclassical portico welcome you home to your commanding country seat.
This handcrafted, shaker kitchen, with a five oven electric Aga in ivory enamel, discreetly hides an abundance of state-of-the-art Neff and Miele appliances, as well as a dedicated wine fridge. Its petrol blue and polished white island opens into a casual dining space flooded with natural light, where a flagstone floor and a traditional pedestal table evoke a cosy farmstead kitchen. Woven rope chairs and a concentric, straw-coloured rug reflect the surrounding pastures, where an early autumn harvest of meadow hay creates an annual landscape of golden grazing bales.
Wander out onto your south-facing terrace of Yorkstone, where a wicker sofa awaits you among burgeoning herbaceous borders, mature trees and a lush lawn that spreads out like a carpet around this 18th century stone manor. Built into a sheltered bank is your heated spa pool, inlaid with an intricate, blue mosaic, and set in elegant, earth-toned paving screened by wildflowers. In the September sun, leisurely fill a trug with apples, pears, plums and walnuts straight from your orchard trees before visiting equine friends in your timber stables, wash bay and paddocks.
After spending hours in the crisp country air, without even leaving the grounds, you curl up with a coffee in this sumptuous lounge of eclectic fabrics with a low, wide fireplace that conjures up a rustic cottage hideaway— and you’ve never felt so at home.
