Welham Hall is a substantial Georgian country house set in about 11.7 acres of landscaped grounds, paddocks and a private lake. The principal house offers seven en-suite bedrooms, six reception rooms and flexible wings including a guest ground-floor wing and an annex that could serve as staff quarters or independent accommodation. A converted barn provides gym and games facilities beside a courtyard, tennis court and purpose-built stable block with four stables and an arena — well suited to a small equestrian interest.
The house combines period proportions and high ceilings with practical modern upgrades such as double glazing and a ground-source heat pump. The kitchen with adjoining conservatory opens to a flagged terrace and lakeside views, while the master suite includes a dressing room, balcony and walk-in wardrobe. The layout will suit a large family wanting space for entertaining, home working and multi-generational living.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be budgeted for: the property sits on solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation, private drainage is in place, broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as very expensive. The final section of drive is shared with neighbouring properties under a maintenance agreement; the owner retains ownership of the shared section but neighbours have a right of way.
This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a private, versatile country estate close to Malton’s amenities and transport links. It will particularly appeal to families or purchasers wishing to retain or expand equestrian and leisure uses, though modest investment in energy efficiency and connectivity may be required.
