Breighton Hall – Grand Country Living with Warmth, Character and Space to Breathe

A Jacobean-inspired country home that feels both grand and welcoming — Breighton Hall offers around 6,900 sq ft of beautifully crafted, versatile living space, surrounded by over 2.35 acres of landscaped gardens, mature trees and open countryside views. Elegant architecture, rich mahogany detailing and graceful proportions meet modern comfort and wellbeing. With extensive garaging for 8 to 10 cars, a three-bay coach house with games room above, and further outbuildings, this is a home where heritage and practicality blend perfectly — set in one of East Yorkshire’s most peaceful and sought-after villages.

Set on the edge of one of East Yorkshire’s most picturesque villages, Breighton Hall is a striking modern country house with the heart and soul of a period home. Surrounded by open countryside and set within over two acres of landscaped gardens and grounds, this impressive property offers around 6,885sq ft of beautifully crafted living space, with extensive garaging of 1260 sq ft and a real sense of privacy whilst still remaining part of the village and this wonderful community.

Built in the mid-1980s but inspired by Jacobean architecture, the house combines classic design with modern comfort — elegant gables, tall mullioned windows and rich mahogany detailing that simply can’t be replicated today. Inside, every room feels beautifully proportioned, with the layout flowing naturally from the magnificent galleried hallway to bright, welcoming living spaces — including three reception rooms and a study, garden room, cinema room and a large open-plan kitchen and breakfast room opening to the terrace and gardens.

Upstairs, there are six double bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a wonderful principal suite with garden views and a further bedroom that opens onto a 48ft balcony overlooking the grounds. The grounds are a joy to explore — sweeping lawns, mature trees, stone terraces and a peaceful paddock — all framed by the gentle backdrop of open countryside. A detached three-bay garage with games room above, plus a Dutch barn and carport (1200 sq ft) provide superb space for hobbies, vehicles or a home office.

What makes Breighton Hall truly special is how effortlessly it adapts to the way you want to live. The generous rooms offer remarkable flexibility — bedrooms can become dressing rooms, media rooms become home offices, teenage dens or playrooms. Whether you’re entertaining, working from home or seeking quiet corners to relax, the possibilities are endless. Come and see for yourself and experience everything this extraordinary home has to offer.

From the Owners

“We liked that Breighton Hall sits well on its plot at the end of a popular village in a peaceful setting with mature landscaped gardens and grounds filled with established trees.
We loved the Jacobean design influence — the symmetry, the impressive hallway and the beautifully proportioned rooms on both floors.
The mahogany throughout is superb and simply can’t be replicated in a new build today. All of that, and a great feeling of wellbeing, meant we agreed to buy it within an hour of first viewing.”
