Chop Gate, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire

An exceptional rural opportunity in the heart of the North York Moors National Park
Set amidst the dramatic beauty of the North York Moors, Beacon Guest Farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property with a compelling blend of character, potential, and breathtaking surroundings. Believed to date back to the 1600s, this historic former guest house occupies a secluded, elevated position and commands far-reaching panoramic views across rolling moorland and farmland.
Set within approximately 0.39 acres and accessed via a track from the Helmsley Road, the property is enveloped in tranquil countryside and offers complete immersion in natural beauty. Its location within the National Park and proximity to bridle paths may also lend itself to future equestrian or walking tourism ventures. A bridle path runs through the driveway.
The main house showcases rich heritage features throughout. A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a traditional sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and log burner, a separate living room with an open fire, and a charming farmhouse-style kitchen with an AGA. A vaulted dining room and spacious family room provide ample living and entertaining space, each with warming wood-burning stoves. A practical utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor of the main residence.
Upstairs, the principal residence boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with a separate shower, combining comfort with character.
A notable highlight is the extended guest wing, accessed via a vinery-style hallway—an atmospheric and unique feature in its own right. This wing includes six bedrooms, each with en suite facilities or access to a separate shower room, ideal for those wishing to revive the property’s hospitality use or accommodate multi-generational living.
Outside, mature gardens frame the stone-built home, creating a haven of peace and privacy. The setting is rich in wildlife, and the backdrop of open hillsides completes the idyllic picture.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and a private septic tank system.
Whether you’re seeking a lifestyle move, the potential to relaunch a guest house or B&B, or simply a magnificent rural family home, Beacon Guest Farm offers limitless potential in one of Yorkshire’s most spectacular locations.
