Details

An architect-designed four bedroom detached house set within around three acres in a designated Heritage Village, offering a rare combination for equestrian buyers within easy reach of York. Formal gardens and lawns lead to a paddock of approximately 2 acres and a stable block with scope for two loose boxes, a haystore and potential for a manège at the head of the paddock, subject to consents. The land continues to a private stretch of river banking on the Swale, with gated access onto a public bridleway and footpaths extending for several miles, ideal for hacking out directly from the property. Myton-on-Swale's Heritage status protects it from further development, giving a quiet, no-through-traffic setting, while York, with its choice of independent schools, is within comfortable reach for the daily commute or school run.

Location
Myton-on-Swale is a designated Heritage Village in rural North Yorkshire, lying halfway between Boroughbridge and Easingwold, each around 8 miles away, and within reach of Helperby, Thirsk and York. Its Heritage status limits future development due to restrictions on road access and service infrastructure, and the village has no through main street, giving it little passing traffic and a quiet, tranquil setting. It is popular with dog walkers, with plentiful public footpaths along the banks of the River Swale and bridleways extending for several miles. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book and was the site of the Battle of Myton in 1319. Myton Hall, in the village, has a long historic association with the Stapylton family.
