Ewe Cote, Whitby, North Yorkshire

A Grade II* listed country house and annexe, farmhouse, coach house and a range of farm buildings with land, close to Whitby.

Dating from 1697, and being in the owners' tenure since 1966, Ewe Cote Hall is a handsome country house providing almost 3,100 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors, now in need of extensive refurbishment. The property also benefits from an attached three-storey annexe offering more than 1,500 sq. ft. of additional accommodation, currently rented on an AST. Retained features include mullioned windows, high ceilings and some wall panelling, exposed beams and original fireplaces. The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and comprises reception and dining rooms, both with feature open fireplaces, and a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, four-oven range, integrated appliances, space for a sizeable table and a neighbouring utility room and pantries.

On the first floor the property offers three bedrooms, the principal with dressing room and en suite bathroom. The property’s two remaining bedrooms can be found on the second floor. These attic bedrooms offer the potential to create en suite facilities, subject to planning.

A separate gable end entrance hall to the annexe opens to a reception room, fitted kitchen and utility room, with four bedrooms and a family bathroom arranged over the upper two floors. The property offers great flexibility, as a single dwelling or main house with an annexe.

A separate farmhouse, which has been recently re-roofed and is currently let on an AST, consists of two reception rooms, one with a cast iron range and both with feature fire places, kitchen, WC and utility room, four bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
