Location

Brackenhill Hall Farm is situated close to the village of Cawood, notable as the location of the Cawood sword. The property lies just south of the point where the River Wharfe flows into the River Ouse, which forms the northern boundary of the village and is crossed by the Cawood swing-bridge. The village benefits from three public houses, a post office and general store, a tea room, and Cawood Church of England Primary School.

The property is well-positioned for access to the market town of Selby, approximately five miles away, and the historic city of York, around nine miles distant, offering both attractions and rail links. Additionally, Leeds (sixteen miles) and Bradford (twenty-five miles) are within commuting distance.

York and Leeds have direct rail connections to London Kings Cross, while Leeds Bradford International Airport is approximately twenty-one miles from the property.

Description

Substantial private country residence set in approximately three acres of gardens and woodland. This distinguished property benefits from an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym, and an impressive annexe.

Dating back to the 1960s with subsequent extensions, the main residence extends to over 5,500 sq ft and is arranged over two floors. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and woodland, the property is approached via a gated sweeping driveway.

Upon entering, an entrance hall provides access to four generously proportioned reception rooms. The heart of the home is the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with handcrafted solid oak units and featuring French doors that open onto a courtyard. A separate utility room complements the kitchen.

The north wing of the property houses the indoor heated swimming pool and sauna with adjoining changing and shower facilities, a gymnasium, and a study that leads to a separate office space.

The first-floor accommodation comprises six bedrooms, five of which have en suite facilities, including a spacious guest bedroom with an adjoining dressing room.

The grounds are predominantly composed of substantial lawned areas flanked by mature deciduous woodland, offering privacy and tranquillity. The large annexe previously served as a garage block but currently functions as a music room, workshop, and games room/bar area above. With some modifications, the annexe presents potential for multi-generational living or the ground floor could be converted back to garaging. The main residence also benefits from a double garage and additional storage.
