Ristbrow Farm

This Grade II listed farmhouse dates to the late 1700s and retains the character of its age throughout its spacious rooms. The building stands on the Hawnby Estate in North Yorkshire, surrounded by countryside that has altered little in centuries—ancient woodland, open fields, the River Rye, and heather moorland stretch out beyond the property. A sweeping gravel drive leads through the enclosed garden to the courtyard, with entrances at both front and back.

Six bedrooms across three floors accommodate twelve guests. Ground floor living spaces include a sitting room with woodburner and Smart TV, dining room, and a separate games room with pool table, table tennis and darts. The kitchen has an Aga alongside electric cooking, dishwasher, American fridge freezer and coffee machine. Upstairs, four bathrooms serve the bedrooms, with the main suite offering an ensuite bath and shower. A utility room has washing machine and tumble dryer. Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels, heating and logs for the fire are included. One well-behaved pet stays free.

The enclosed garden has a private hot tub for eight, patio with furniture and barbecue. Parking for six cars and a bike store are provided. The property suits large family groups or friends gathering together, with direct access to walking and cycling routes through the surrounding landscape. No smoking inside.
