A stunning house in the Yorkshire countryside

2nd May 2008 Print
A stunning house in the Yorkshire countryside Smiths Gore’s York Office are pleased to bring to the market West End Farm, a stunning country house, with 24 acres of rolling parkland, being created in a tiny Yorkshire Wolds hamlet with good access to the East Coast, York and Hull.

Beautifully designed, highly specified and craftsman built 5,000 sq ft farmhouse to be finished to the purchasers’ requirements:

• impressive hall and staircase
• 4 reception rooms
• large living kitchen
• cloakroom
• 6 bedrooms 4 bathrooms
• attached courtyard with three-car garage, workshop, offices and gym
• extensive equestrian facilities including restored traditional buildings and modern barn
• formal gardens, woodland, ponds and parkland
• planning consent for annexe cottage
• in all about 24.4 acres

West End Farm is a stunning restoration and extension of a traditional farmhouse and buildings, creating a highly specified, craftsman-built house in a quiet Wolds hamlet. Ruston Parva is surrounded by the rolling farmland typical of the Wolds, and sits within a shallow valley overlooked by the ancient St Nicholas parish church.

Whilst the house enjoys a truly rural setting, within 8 miles of the East Yorkshire coast, it has access to a comprehensive range of services and amenities at the nearby regional centre of Driffield and further afield in the historic market town of Beverley.

The grounds comprise formal gardens, a secluded domestic courtyard, a second yard of restored agricultural buildings, and about 24 acres of attractive parkland in its own shallow valley. There are naturally-fed ponds in both the park and garden, and extensive areas of established and newly planted woodland, providing the perfect habitat for wildlife.

With an extensive selection of buildings in two ranges, one adjoining the house and forming an attractive courtyard, the other located on higher ground away from the house, the property offers a high degree of flexibility. It would suit ideally a family with significant equestrian interests, or be an excellent home from which to run a business (subject to any necessary consents). Additionally, there is planning consent to construct a detached annexe cottage within the grounds.

Andrew Turner, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s York Office says:

“This is a fabulous property: a restoration and extension of a traditional farmhouse done with real flair and skill, and using top quality materials. It has a rare combination of a fine house, excellent ranges of equestrian, home work and leisure buildings, wooded parkland and ponds, in an attractive rural location, which should have great appeal to the right buyer”.

West End Farm is being marketed with a guide price of £1,650,000.
