A fabulous residential opportunity in a prime position in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Description
Situated in a stunning location within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this exciting development site offers the opportunity to build a bespoke house nestled into the surrounding countryside, occupying a plot of around four and a half acres.
The plot sits at the end of a long private, tree lined driveway with far reaching views across the valley beyond.
Planning permission was obtained on 18 March 2022 allowing for the demolition of the existing cottage to build an impressive eco-friendly four bedroom house, primarily on one level, of around 2,200 square feet with outbuildings and garage/ annex (21/01594/FUL).
The proposed plans look to create a truly sustainable house with an Air Source heat pump, Mechanical Heat Recovery System (MVHR) and photo-voltaic array to generate a percentage of electricity needs. The design, by an award-winning architect, is of outstanding aesthetic merit, using high quality local materials and the detailed landscape design will complement the house to provide a unique and beautiful rural residence.
Location
Ampleforth is a particularly charming and well served village nestled at the foot of the North York Moors National Park, overlooking the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are excellent facilities given its size, including a shop with post office, two public houses, coffee shop, sports centre and doctors surgery. The local schools are well regarded, including Ampleforth College.
The surrounding area is a haven for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and country living. The market towns of Easingwold and Helmsley are a short drive away and there is a rail link in Thirsk which is about 12 miles to the west.
The nearest city is York, about 16.5 miles, rich in history and has an array of amenities, a mainline train station with good links to London and Scotland. Some services complete the journey to Kings Cross in under two hours. On the outskirts of York are Monks Cross retail shopping centre and the Vangarde shopping park.
Please note all distances and travel times are approximate.
