St Marys Priory, King Street, Muston, Filey, North Yorkshire

This substantial and historically significant residence, built in 1871 and proudly displaying its original commemorative plaque, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home in the heart of the picturesque village of Muston. Set within just under an acre of beautifully maintained grounds, the property has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. The current owners, the Canons Regular of Prémontré, have completed an extensive programme of improvements including a new roof, full rewire, replacement sash windows with double glazing, upgraded heating and water systems, renewed plumbing, new kitchen and bathrooms, a conservatory addition, and the conversion of the former stable block into the self-contained St Norbert’s Annex.

The accommodation is both extensive and highly versatile, perfectly blending historic grandeur with practical modern living. The ground floor comprises an impressive entrance hall, a reception room currently used as a chapel, sitting room, sacristy, conservatory, library, office, kitchen, dining room, cellar, utility room and a downstairs W/C. To the first floor are three bedrooms with en-suites, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional room suitable for storage or conversion to a W/C. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating a superb layout ideal for large families or multi-generational living. In total, the property offers seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and three reception rooms, all presented to a high standard with décor that complements the building’s heritage.

Externally, the grounds are a particular feature, encompassing two orchards, sweeping lawns and well-stocked herbaceous borders, all enclosed by a substantial brick and finialled wall. Within the gardens are a charming summer house modelled on a French château, a greenhouse and the newly renovated St Norbert’s House, ideal for guest accommodation, holiday letting or independent family living. There are also three garages, one with an upper-level studio perfect for hobbies or creative use, along with ample gated parking. Situated in the sought-after village of Muston, renowned for its bridle paths and stunning rural views, the property is just five minutes from the vibrant coastal resort of Filey, celebrated for its Edwardian architecture and beautiful cliff-top sea views—offering a lifestyle that is as impressive as the home itself.
