Beautiful private grounds and versatile family living near Everingham and York.
Substantial five-bedroom family home, approx. 4,381 sq ft
Set on just under two acres in an unspoilt rural setting near Everingham, Manor Farm Cottage is a substantial, newly renovated family home offering about 4,381 sq ft of flexible living. The house combines period character with high-quality contemporary fittings: bespoke hand-built kitchen, stone fire surrounds, woodburning stoves, and generous reception rooms that flow onto private landscaped gardens and terraces with far-reaching views.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple storeys and includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite, library, and a light-filled principal suite with dressing room and terrace access. The heart of the home is the handmade kitchen with island, range cooker, and bi-fold doors leading to the garden; underfloor heating serves the kitchen/snug and adds practical comfort for family life and entertaining.
The grounds are a major asset — sweeping drive, parking, productive vegetable beds with greenhouse (water and electricity), a large south-facing studio with its own boiler, and a mature, private landscape that captures expansive skies and evening sunsets. This setting will suit buyers seeking country tranquillity with good access to Everingham, Pocklington and York for schools and amenities.
Important considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply), broadband speeds are very slow, and walls are traditional solid brick (assumed uninsulated) which may affect running costs despite recent renovation. The location has a medium flood risk; buyers should check insurance and site-specific flood information.
