Great Edstone, York

A handsome & newly refurbished Grade II Listed farmhouse providing over 3,500ft2 of accommodation, along with a well-appointed two-bedroom annexe, landscaped gardens, ample parking & grass paddocks totalling almost 5 acres in all. Edge of village location with superb views across the Vale of Pickering.

The sale of Mount Pleasant presents an excellent opportunity to purchase a handsome and newly refurbished Georgian farmhouse, along with an extremely well-appointed two-bedroom annexe, landscaped gardens, and 4 ½ acres of paddock land, in a lovely setting within this sought-after hilltop village.

Constructed of limestone elevations, beneath a clay pantile roof, the house is believed to date from the mid-Eighteenth Century and is Listed Grade II due to its architectural and historical interest. The front of the house faces almost due West and from its elevated position affords breathtaking views across the Vale of Pickering. The property retains a great deal of character and benefits from a versatile layout which includes three principal reception rooms and a spectacular, 44ft open-plan dining/kitchen/family room with walk-in pantry. Also to the ground floor is a large boot room and a shower room which connects to a gym or potential fifth bedroom. To the first floor there four double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a house bathroom; two large attic rooms on the top floor offer further potential, if required. The overall floor area within the house amounts to over 3,500ft2 (including the two attic rooms) and central heating within both this property and the annexe are provided by a state-of-the-art wood pellet boiler.

Within the last couple of years, the house has been comprehensively refurbished. Notable works include re-roofing, repairs and repointing to all chimneys, installation of a state-of-the-art wood pellet boiler with automated feed, outside walls have been re-pointed with lime mortar and new, joiner-built kitchen has been installed, with granite worktops.

Adjacent to the house is a well-appointed two-bedroom annexe, which has been converted from a stone barn and provides surprisingly spacious single storey accommodation of around 1,000ft2. It would be ideally suited to a those looking for a ‘multi-generational’ home but could potentially be used to generate a side income from holiday letting, subject to securing any necessary consents.

Mount Pleasant occupies an overall plot of almost 5 acres and is made up of attractively landscaped gardens, ample parking and paddock land, which will appeal to those with equestrian or smallholding interests. Immediately behind the house an annexe is a holding paddock of 0.8 acres, with a further 3.74 acres adjacent, just across the lane.

Great Edstone is an attractive and peaceful hilltop village located on the doorstep of the North York Moors National Park and only three miles from the Georgian market town of Kirkbymoorside. The town benefits from a large number of independent shops, pubs, restaurants and an 18-hole golf course. The village of Great Edstone falls within the catchment area for Ryedale School, located in the nearby village of Nawton, and has a reputation for excellence. The market towns of Helmsley, Pickering and Malton are all within a short drive and each has something different to offer. Malton is located approximately twelve miles south of the village and has in recent years gained a reputation as Yorkshire’s Food Capital; its railway station has regular services to York, where there are a wide range of connections via the East Coast Mainline.

Gardens & Grounds

Mount Pleasant stands in beautifully landscaped gardens which feature well manicured lawns, colourful borders stocked with a wide variety of flowering shrubs and perennials, and a productive vegetable patch with raised beds. Between the house and annexe is a particularly appealing courtyard garden, which has been hard landscaped with stone-flagged terrace, gravelled area, and raised beds, and is a very sheltered spot and perfect for outdoor entertaining. The property benefits from a useful range of outhouses, including boiler room, wood pellet store, two garden stores, store room/workshop and gardener's WC. A gated and gravelled driveway is positioned to the rear of the house, providing ample room to park, and forming the division between the gardens and a holding paddock.
