Property description
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. The property extends to some 42 acres and includes a cottage, stables and wonderful gardens.
The House
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 remodelled in 1857 under Charles Bodrick, 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 that 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 contemporary family house with all the benefits of a modern property whilst retaining many of the period features. Cherry Burton Hall 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. Built to entertain on a grand scale, but with more cosy rooms.
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 their own space or indeed, as it is used at the moment, for independent living, having a staircase that leads directly to the 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 many of the original fittings and connects to a separate groom’s apartment and annex.
The gardens have been expertly laid out with some majestic tress and herbaceous borders giving all round colour and structure.
For the equestrian enthusiast 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.
There is a large barn with space enough for a great number of cars, tractors and the necessary machinery needed to maintain the estate.
Location
Surrounded by traditional farmland and on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, the charmingly named village of Cherry Burton was one of the first villages in UK to be awarded Fairtrade Village status for promoting fairtrade and local produce. The village has a cricket club, primary school, village hall, church, shop, post office, and public house called The Bay Horse. There is a fabulous pub in South Dalton, The Pipe and Glass, which has a Michelin Star.
The traditional market town of Beverley (3.4 miles) is a ten-minute drive away. The town has regularly featured in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Live guide for its pretty cobbled streets and green spaces, highly rated schools, and excellent array of independent shops and amenities, including a wide choice of delicatessens, restaurants and historic pubs. Cultural highlights include the town’s 13th century minister, ancient guildhall, East Riding Theatre and horse racing at Beverley Racecourse.
The outstanding local countryside is closely connected with the Yorkshire born artist David Hockney, providing the inspiration for the artist’s vibrant Yorkshire landscapes including scenes from the series The Arrival of Spring and Midsummer. Walkers can trace the artist’s footsteps and there is a fantastic network of footpaths nearby including the Minster and the Yorkshire Wolds Ways.
