Riseborough Hall is an exceptional historic country house set within about 7.1 acres of walled gardens, wooded parkland and far-reaching elevated views across the Vale of Pickering. The main stone-built house combines medieval and Victorian fabric with carefully reinstated period detail — high ceilings, stone mullion windows, an inglenook and a dramatic stone spiral staircase — offering atmospheric family rooms and reception spaces. A self-contained staff wing and an extensively renovated four-bedroom detached cottage add flexibility for live‑in staff, guests or income use.
The property is substantial in scale (circa 12,247 sq ft when fully integrated) and comes with practical outbuildings including a modern three-bay garage with clock tower, a stone outbuilding, formal fishpond and timber barbecue hut. Utilities include mains electricity and water, private drainage, rainwater harvesting and satellite broadband; oil‑fired central heating is installed alongside other electric heating elements. The estate’s elevated, sheltered position and high walled boundaries provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
Important practical points: the Jacobean wing is secured on a steel frame but requires complete renovation and much of the house needs further refurbishment to unlock its full potential. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is noted as high; prospective buyers should allow for significant restoration and ongoing running costs. The house offers strong potential for a grand family home, wedding venue or boutique hospitality use, subject to the appropriate consents and refurbishment investment.
Occupying a secluded setting close to Marton and a short drive from Pickering, the estate combines remoteness with reasonable access to local schools and market towns. The property will suit buyers seeking a historic, characterful country estate with scope to restore, adapt and enhance for private or commercial use.
