Ganthorpe, York

This property presents a noteworthy opportunity for developers and investors, featuring a dilapidated traditional stone barn set on an expansive 23 acres of prime agricultural land. Located on the border of the picturesque Castle Howard Estate in the desirable Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this site boasts full planning permission to transform the existing structure into a modern five-bedroom residence. With planning consent granted in December 2022, the envisioned design includes a contemporary dwelling that harmoniously integrates traditional features together with modern amenities, including a spacious living area, kitchen, utility room, five bedrooms (one with en-suite), additional bathroom, study, and a triple garage. The surrounding land offers potential for further enhancement—whether as landscaped parkland or gardens. Positioned near the charming villages of Terrington and Welburn and just under eight miles from Malton, this property combines rural tranquility with accessibility to local services, making it an ideal project for those looking to invest in residential development.
