Location.
The property is situated in the historic core of the village of Escrick and within the conservation area. The village is edged by the A19 providing easy access by road and public transport to the historic city of York (7 miles) the Abbey town of Selby (6 miles) and typically about 35 minutes from Leeds via the A64 and A1 (M) motorway.

Population.
Around 1000 in the Parish

Background
Three generations of the Traves family have occupied the property known as the Old Butchers Shop in Main Street, Escrick. Many of the buildings used for that business were demolished following the grant of residential planning permission to redevelop the site.

Foul and surface water drainage is thought to flow into a public sewer in Main Street. Three phase electricity is laid underground from Carr Meadows through what is shown on the Site Plan as P2 to the north gable of P1.

The existing access from Main Street is in part subject to a right-of-way in favour of the adjoining property known, or formally known, as the "Black Bull". The Sale Property has the benefit of a right-of-way over a lane leading from Main Street which was for many years the principal means of access for the business.

The development includes part of the garden of Lanrigg.

The 1990's extension to The Old Butchers Shop is to be removed and works carried which may, or may not, require a minor variation of the extant planning permission.

The Mansion House adjoins the Sale Property and visual privacy, and access to that property are to be protected. Details are out later these sales particulars.

CHARACTER OF THE VILLAGE CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY The village is notable for its architecture and historical importance given its development as an estate village with Escrick Hall at its heart. The built environment reflects layers of English rural architectural heritage, with influences from the Georgian, Victorian, and early 20th-century periods.

The historic village layout is carefully planned, with a sense of order and proportion characteristic of estate villages from the 18th and 19th centuries with many of the buildings including houses, lodges, and ancillary structures, exhibiting uniform stylistic elements typical of estate planning - symmetry, craftsmanship, and continuity in materials notably brick, tile and slate.
