NAMED after the Yeoman family who owned Woodlands house and estate for more than 200 years, Yeoman Hall is a bespoke detached family home that was built some 30 years ago on the northern slopes of the Esk Valley.

From its commanding position Yeoman Hall enjoys panoramic views across woodland, rolling pastures, the deep valley through which the heritage steam railway passes then across to high moorland – and to take advantage of these truly spectacular views every room on the southern elevation of the house has a picture window.

Yeoman Hall’s accommodation has been updated and remodelled by the current owners to create a family home that is not only full of natural light and attractive features including cast iron column radiators, stone fireplaces, archways, bay windows and wood panelling, but is also practical for family living.

Briefly, it includes an elegantly proportioned sitting room with a multi-fuel stove housed in a timber fireplace and the drawing room which is open to the staircase hall through a wide arch and has a corner wood-burning stove housed in a stone fireplace.

Also on the ground floor are a large utility/laundry/boot room, a cloakroom and the kitchen breakfast room which extends to nearly 24ft in length. This room has underfloor heating, wall-to-wall bifold doors which open onto the garden terrace, an electric cooking range, integrated appliances and a solid wood granite-topped kitchen handmade some eight years ago by Gibson Cabinet Makers of Whitby. It includes a large island unit and breakfast bar with quartz worktop.

Upstairs are the family bathroom with a freestanding bath and four large double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom and the master suite, located in the western wing of the house to give it a high degree of privacy.

The master bedroom has a recessed balcony behind a glass panel, and wall-to-wall windows with glazed doors spanning the entire width of the room delivering an outstanding view. The suite includes a versatile store room, a bathroom with a freestanding bath and a staircase to a large second floor dressing room with eaves storage. From here there is the potential to extend further into the loft space, creating an additional second floor room.

Above the house and alongside the drive is a large detached outbuilding which is home to a double garage, a further garage/workshop, a secure log store, a kennel with heat lamp and a cottage which extends to nearly 690sq.ft.

On the ground floor is a bathroom with shower, while upstairs is a bedroom and kitchen/breakfast room. At the rear, a superb octagonal glazed sitting room with a multi-fuel stove has French doors opening onto a private garden. The cottage is currently run as a successful holiday let.

Yeoman Hall sits in gardens and fully enclosed grounds, laid mainly to lawn, that extend to 2.5 acres and include a parking/turning area at the back of the house, a number of well-established trees and a paved terrace around three sides of the house which provides an ideal area for alfresco dining, with a pizza oven and clipped box hedging. Solar panels were added to the property in 2022.

The property also comes with fishing rights for a single rod on the river Esk, on a section of the riverbank which includes a pooling lake. It is understood there is a formal right of way from Yeoman Hall to the river via a footpath. And then there are the almost never-ending views...
