Description
Brayton Gate Toll House, Doncaster Road - A Landmark Home Rich in History, Reimagined for Modern Living
Positioned on the historic Doncaster Road, one of the region's most important coaching routes long before the arrival of the railways in Selby, this exceptional home forms part of a remarkable piece of local heritage.
Originally constructed in 1831 as one of three toll houses serving the Selby to Doncaster Turnpike, the property would once have stood at the heart of a thriving route, collecting tolls from passing travellers, merchants and stagecoaches moving goods and people between key Yorkshire towns. Today, it stands as a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully reimagined home, seamlessly blending its rich past with contemporary living.
Recognised for its sensitive renovation and architectural significance, the property was awarded the 2014 Selby Civic Society Award, a testament to the quality and care taken in its transformation.
Internally, the home offers an impressive and highly versatile layout, centred around a striking, open-plan living space where character meets modern design. A feature brick fireplace with an inset electric stove provides a natural focal point, while the expansive proportions create an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with both practicality and flow in mind, connecting seamlessly to the main living areas and creating a true hub of the home. Additional reception spaces offer excellent flexibility, whether for entertaining, relaxing or everyday family life, along with the added convenience of a ground floor WC.
Upstairs, the property continues to deliver, with well-proportioned bedrooms including a generous principal suite with en suite facilities, complemented by further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.
Externally, the property makes an immediate impression. Set behind gated access, there is ample parking along with a single garage, while the grounds provide both privacy and space. A particular highlight is the detached bar and entertainment space, perfect for hosting and enjoying the property's sociable layout to its fullest.
In summary, the property is a rare opportunity to acquire:
A landmark home dating back to 1831
Part of the historic Selby to Doncaster Turnpike route
Award-winning renovation (Selby Civic Society, 2014)
Beautifully balanced blend of character and modern design
Versatile, open-plan living spaces ideal for entertaining
Gated frontage with ample parking and detached garage
Separate bar/entertainment building
Homes of this historical significance rarely come to the market, especially with such a high-quality modern finish. Brayton Gate Toll House offers not just a place to live but a property with a story - one that continues into its next chapter.
