Chop Gate, North Yorkshire

Tucked away in a secluded, elevated position within the heart of the North York Moors National Park, Beacon Guest Farm represents a truly exceptional rural opportunity. Believed to date back to the 1600s, this substantial period residence blends rich heritage with remarkable versatility, all set against a backdrop of far-reaching panoramic views across rolling moorland and open countryside.
Occupying approximately 0.39 acres and accessed via a track from Helmsley Road, the property offers a sense of complete escape, surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty. A public footpath crosses the driveway, while the nearby network of bridleways and open moorland further enhances its appeal for those seeking an outdoor lifestyle or potential tourism venture.
The main house is steeped in character, with an inviting entrance hallway leading through to a traditional sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner. A separate living room with open fire provides an additional cosy retreat, while the farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with AGA, forms the heart of the home. A vaulted dining room and spacious family room, both featuring wood-burning stoves, create superb spaces for entertaining and everyday living, complemented by a practical utility room and cloakroom.
To the first floor, the principal accommodation offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, served by a modern family bathroom with separate shower—successfully combining period charm with contemporary comfort.
A particular highlight of Beacon Guest Farm is the extended guest wing, accessed via a distinctive vinery-style hallway that adds both atmosphere and individuality. This wing provides six bedrooms, each with en suite facilities or access to a separate shower room, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or the opportunity to re-establish a guest house or bed and breakfast.
Externally, mature gardens wrap around the property, creating a peaceful and private setting enriched by a dedicated wildlife garden and spinney. The South East facing frontage captures spectacular sunrises and uninterrupted views, while to the rear, a sheltered West facing garden provides the perfect spot to enjoy afternoon and evening sunshine.
The property is served by oil-fired central heating and a private septic tank system, and is offered at a price to reflect the scope for further updating—allowing a new owner to enhance and tailor the accommodation to their own vision.
Beacon Guest Farm is a rare find—offering history, space, and boundless potential in one of North Yorkshire’s most breathtaking landscapes. Viewing is strictly by appointment to fully appreciate the setting, scale, and lifestyle opportunity on offer.
