Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This delightful family home boasts wonderful views of Gilling Gap from the first-floor bedrooms. The home was originally owned by a family of stonemasons who worked on local churches, houses and schools – there’s a real sense of history here. Best of all, this house is located on the southern boundary of the North Yorkshire Moors, just north of the Howardian Hills. It’s a great spot for hiking and cycling. Historic Helmsley is just a five-minute drive away.
