Description
Swathgill is a beautifully situated country estate in the Howardian Hills AONB, offering an rare opportunity to acquire a manageable-sized estate with excellent family accommodation, a leisure complex, and conservation potential. The Georgian farmhouse was extended and remodelled in Arts and Crafts style in 1926, and features well-proportioned, mainly south-facing principal rooms, an ornamental fireplace, and a full-length covered veranda. The property includes a two-bedroom detached cottage, formal gardens, a leisure complex with an award-winning heated indoor pool, gym, and cinema room, and a set of farm buildings. The land extends to approximately 211 acres, including productive arable land, meadow, and pasture, and mature, mainly native woodlands, with three ponds. Located in a private yet accessible location, Swathgill is situated midway between York and the North York Moors National Park, and is only 7 miles from Castle Howard and 6 miles from Ampleforth College.
