11 bed detached house for sale

Main Street, Cherry Burton, Beverley, East Yorkshire HU17

Cherry Burton Hall is an immaculately presented family home that is the embodiment of a classical country house set comfortably in its own parkland at the edge of this charming East Riding village.

A long sweeping drive reveals a fine view of the house past a lake and immediately one sees the breath-taking gardens.

Built in 1790 and re-modelled in 1857 under Cuthbert Brodrick who was the architect responsible for Leeds Town Hall, the house has an impressive portico entrance hall with a clear view to the back of the house through glazed doors and defines the house as one that is bathed in natural light.

The rooms are of an exceptional scale and volume with high ceilings and a mass of period features. The house has had the benefit of extensive remodelling, the result is a modern family house with all the benefits of a modern property whilst retailing many of the period features. The result is an elegant and refined home that is more usually associated with listed buildings. The Westmoreland slate roof tiles used for the extension were sourced from the Canadian Embassy in London. The detail and quality of the workmanship has resulted in a seamless and complimentary addition to the existing house.

Stone floors, a sweeping staircase and working fireplaces all add to the charm and warmth of this remarkable house.

The kitchen is at the heart of The Hall with an extensive range of the finest fitted furniture and an Aga, providing a place where everyone can congregate. A dining table ensures there is space for relaxed entertaining and all the family to eat, which in turn leads to a large, comfortable sitting area with a 'living wall' as the main feature. French windows lead onto a beautiful south facing terrace ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing.

The bedrooms have their own special character with the principal bedroom having some of the best views in the house along with a 'statement' bathroom. Don't miss the 'hidden' bathroom, concealed by a faux wardrobe.

The second floor is arranged in such a way that it can be used by older children wanting to set up their own space or indeed as it is used at the moment for independent living having a staircase that leads directly to a back door.

Outside
As befits a house of this standing, the original stables and loose boxes are centred around a courtyard. The coach house benefits from having many of the original fittings still in place and connects to a separate groom's apartment and annex.

For the equestrian enthusiast the set up at Cherry Burton is superb but we would say does not define the property if horses aren't your thing. There is a manege, and covered horse walker along with field shelters.

The courtyard offers various opportunities from further accommodation, car storage, home office, etc.

The gardens have been expertly laid out with some majestic tress and herbaceous borders giving all round colour and structure.

There is a large barn with space enough for a great number of cars, tractors and the necessary machinery needed to maintain the estate.
