East End Farm, Garton-On-The-Wolds, Driffield

Period farmhouse with a range of traditional outbuildings in 1.6 acres, within the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds

In a Conservation Area and previously owned by the Sledmere Estate, this appealing farmhouse has been updated to provide versatile accommodation with an integrated annexe ideal for guests or extended family. Its rear elevation forms part of the traditional fold yard, now a York stone flagged courtyard with a range of buildings all contemporaneous with the 1880s house. The land extends behind the house, with an elevated paddock from which far reaching views can be enjoyed across open countryside.

Farmhouse – up to 4 reception rooms, up to 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms (all en suite)
Courtyard, paddock
In all 1.6 acres

Farmhouse - The farmhouse was constructed in 1885 of locally quarried bricks under a pitched tiled roof. It fronts the village road with a lovely outlook across an open field with mature broad-leafed trees. At the rear, it faces a stone flagged courtyard with traditional outbuildings. This much loved family home has been extended and renovated by the current owners. The modern fitted kitchen has a window spanning its length that provides a lovely outlook across the courtyard; adjacent is a useful utility/laundry/boot room. There is a dining room and a sitting room with a fireplace with a 3KW log-burning stove featuring a handcrafted ‘Mouseman’ mantel. On the first floor, the splendid drawing room rises into the roof space with exposed roof trusses; it has a bay window and north-south views creating a light-filled room with a wonderful outlook on three sides.

Fundamentally, this is a large house with versatile living-and-bedroom space on both floors, as the floorplan will testify. It is currently arranged with up to six bedrooms, five of which have en suite bathrooms. Of the two bedrooms on the ground floor, one is part of an annexe. The annexe can be integrated or separate from the main house and has its own doors onto the courtyard.

Outside - The drive sweeps round from the village street, ascending gently (shared right of access). An archway enters the courtyard in front of the house where there is a range of outbuldings and further parking. The former fold yard, now a courtyard, is enclosed by traditional farm buildings, all in use and offering scope for further development. The garden, grounds and land extend behind the house, totalling circa 1.6acres.

Environs - East End Farm lies in the heart of Garton on the Wolds, a rural village with a primary school and a lavishly decorated church of Norman origins, listed Grade I and featured on BBC’s Songs of Praise in February this year. The village is situated in the glorious rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, just two miles from Driffield. Driffield earned its title ‘Capital of the Wolds’ by virtue of its central position within the county and its annual agricultural show, the largest one-day event of its kind in England. This market town has a range of shops and amenities including supermarkets, a sports hall with swimming pool and a secondary school. The railway station is on the Hull-Scarborough line. Beverley, Malton, Bridlington and the Yorkshire coast are all within easy reach and York city centre can be reached in 45 minutes.
