Bondgate, Helmsley, York, North Yorkshire

A MOST CHARMING EXTENDED AND REFURBISHED PERIOD PROPERTY WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE OF THE MARKET SQUARE

32 Bondgate occupies an enviable position just a short level walk away from the Market Square in the centre of the renowned Georgian market town of Helmsley, itself located on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park where the river Rye descends from the Moors. It is rightly regarded as the jewel in the crown of this beautiful part of the countryside. There are many attractions in the area to include the North York Moors Steam Railway based at Pickering, mansion houses such as Castle Howard and Nunnington Hall and ecclesiastical ruins to include Rievaulx Abbey and Byland Abbey. The area has a rich history as shown by the castles not only at Helmsley but also at Pickering and Scarborough and in addition, the city of York with its city walls and superb Minster lies within easy reach about 25 miles away to the south. Helmsley itself has a full range of local facilities to include churches, public houses, hotels, post office and a wide variety of retails outlets. Of particular interest is the nearby mansion house of Duncombe Park, home to Lord Feversham and heart of the eponymous estate and whose parkland adjoins the town centre and which is available for recreational use by the general public.

32 Bondgate is constructed in the vernacular style of stone elevations under a pantile roof and has been sympathetically extended to the rear so as to provide comfortable, high quality living accommodation whilst at the same time, managing to preserve the period feel of the property.
