Set within the Howardian Hills AONB, The Granary House is an 18th-century barn conversion offering almost 3,200 sq ft of versatile family accommodation and about 2.5 acres of gardens, grounds and a small paddock. The house keeps strong period character — exposed beams, Yorkshire stone flags, reclaimed woodwork and lofty roof trusses — while providing large reception spaces and a principal bedroom suite with impressive views across the Wolds.
Outside, mature, undulating gardens, productive kitchen beds and a double-length stone garage sit beyond a long private drive and car port. The plot’s scale and paddock suit families with horses, smallholding ambitions or keen gardeners; panoramic views and private outlooks are genuine selling points. Local services in Helmsley are around ten minutes by car, with good road links to Thirsk, Malton and York.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is oil-fired and drainage is private; broadband speeds are very slow. The property has a long tarmac drive and extensive grounds that will require ongoing maintenance, and there is an easement allowing occasional secondary access for large vehicles. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The house’s staggered levels and two staircases create character but may be less suitable for limited mobility.
This is a rare opportunity to buy a sizeable, characterful family home in a protected rural setting. It will suit buyers seeking space, lifestyle and historic charm who are comfortable managing a large plot and the practicalities of country living.
