Find Out A Little More .... - The current owners have skilfully reconfigured Helperby Manor to anticipate the needs of modern family life and the property now comes with fibre optic broadband and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan family space of nearly 900 sq ft incorporating a beautifully designed kitchen as well as dining and living areas that flow seamlessly onto a garden terrace – perfect for entertaining. On every floor, the layout offers exceptional functionality, with ample storage and thoughtfully designed utility spaces. Two sets of servants’ bells (not activated) and fireplaces in many rooms including bedrooms are a nod to the property’s heritage.
A reception hall complete with a welcoming wood-burning stove sets the tone and gives access to all the living rooms as well as the principal and back staircases. The L-shaped kitchen/dining/living room features two square bays, floor-to-ceiling windows and a set of wide French doors that open onto a covered portico and a York stone terrace. Glorious south-facing views across the manicured lawns showcase three magnificent Cedar of Lebanon trees. At dusk, well positioned lighting enhances the symmetry and drama of this view creating a magical backdrop for al fresco dining and evening gatherings.
The kitchen from ‘Infinite Bespoke Interiors’ has a west facing window seat and includes a large island unit with breakfast bar, quartz work surfaces, a host of integrated appliances and a pocket door breakfast & coffee station. Parquet flooring extends across the generous dining area and living area where there is a built-in media cabinet. A formal drawing room features a wood-burning stove housed in a traditional fireplace and a pair of windows facing west beyond the magnificent redwoods. The playroom is a versatile room with a charming arched window and a double height ceiling. At the end of the hall, a functional, fully fitted laundry room has a staircase ladder rising to a mezzanine storage room. A custom-made boot room with Velux roof lights forms a rear entrance from the inner courtyard.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite spans the entire southern elevation connecting through doors to the capacious balcony enclosed by a handsome stone balustrade. This private outside space offers panoramic views over the gardens and grounds. The fitted dressing room is accompanied by a luxurious bathroom with a double vanity unit, a freestanding bath and a large walk-in rainfall shower.
All of the bedrooms are generously proportioned with fine views, one has a wash basin and every first floor bedroom is illuminated by two windows. The bathrooms are contemporary in design with high spec fittings and half-height plantation shutters. Good ceiling heights continue on the top floor where there are four bedrooms including a guest bedroom suite with a magnificent shower room of notably generous proportions.
Outside - Wrought-iron electric gates open to Helperby Manor where a sweeping carriage driveway pulls in front of the house. The turning circle features a central bed planted with hydrangea ‘Annebelle’ framed by neatly clipped hedging. Fragrant lavender lines the drive and a tall yew hedge provides privacy from the garden beyond.
A further set of electric gates give an extra layer of privacy and security and lead to the inner courtyard where a walnut tree stands sentinel. Here is the garaging, EV charger, gym, outbuildings and parking alongside the rear entrance to the house. The garage has an inspection pit, power and light and alongside is a gym complete with an infra-red heater and south facing windows.
A paddock lies to the front of the property bound by parkland railings and a post and rail fence. The gardens and grounds comprise extensive areas of lawn, a range of impressive trees and colourful shrubs including a grove of rhododendrons, an orchard with a variety of productive apples and pear trees, figs trained on the high boundary wall and a family area at the rear. The far parkland paddock is enclosed by post and rail fencing and has mounted solar panels. An enclosed section of woodland with snaking walkways cut through, features well-established native species including beech, birch and rowan.
Drifter's Lodge - Originally providing the chauffer’s lodgings, Drifter’s Loft is a stylish, one-bedroom annexe of over 920 sq ft on the first floor of traditional outbuildings, situated on the property’s northern boundary. It is positioned alongside the main gates of Helperby Manor and benefits from its own entrance, drive and off-street parking. Currently run as a successful holiday let (figures can be made available upon request), the accommodation is accessed via an external staircase.
