The property is located in Kirkham Estate, Kirkham Abbey, North Yorkshire, a rural area with a rich history. The surrounding area appears tranquil and picturesque, offering a peaceful setting. The proximity to Welburn Community Primary School (3.36 KM), rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, could be a positive factor for families. However, the lack of readily available nearby transportation information limits the assessment of its accessibility. The extensive grounds and the property’s size suggest ample land, contributing to its secluded and private ambiance.

The property itself is a substantial country house, appearing to be well-maintained and in excellent condition based on the provided images. The interior photographs showcase high ceilings, ornate details, and spacious rooms, indicative of a property with character and charm. The property exhibits features consistent with a period property.

Given the list price of £25,000,000, the average house price in the area is significantly lower at £270,390. However, this is not a fair comparison due to the substantial difference in property type and size. The property’s size (6,846 sq ft) and the expansive grounds (13,907 sq ft) are exceptional, justifying a higher price than the average for smaller properties in the area. The price per sqft of the surrounding properties is £260, but this is not directly comparable to a property of this size and type. While the list price is high, the unique characteristics of this country house, including its size, condition, and location, may support its valuation. Further analysis would require a detailed comparison to similar properties in the area to determine if the list price is justified.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
