North Yorkshire – £2.5 million

Lying in a private but accessible location near Tadcaster, half-way between Leeds and York, this 12,000 sq ft home is one of the finest properties in the area, sitting within 34 acres of attractive parkland yet benefitting from excellent access.

The house requires full renovation, but there is enormous scope for a variety of uses ranging from private residential occupation, care home, retirement village, residential development or commercial use, subject to gaining necessary planning consent.

For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details about this property.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
