Sheriff Hutton Park is very well located within attractive gently rolling countryside only 12 miles from the centre of the Historic City of York from where trains to London’s Kings Cross take approximately 2 hours. York is strategically well located almost midway between London and Edinburgh. The A64 trunk road provides dual carriageway access to the A1 Motorway (27 miles) and the market town of Malton with its increasing reputation for its local food markets lies 10 miles away. Castle Howard lies 6 miles away and there is a range of amenities together with the castle ruins in the neighbouring village of Sheriff Hutton.

Whilst access can be gained from east or west the principal access is along the recently resurfaced coach road which provides an impressive approach to Sheriff Hutton Hall along the tree lined driveway through the Estate farmland and parkland.

Location & Situation

...close to the historic city of York, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

and views towards the ruins of Sheriff Hutton Castle..

In the early 17th Century, Sheriff Hutton and all the surrounding countryside was part of the immense Forest of Galtres. The property comprised part of a large Deer Park which contained the Royal Hunting Lodge or “Launde House” which was visited by King James I in 1617. Sir Arthur Ingram commenced construction of a substantial country house in approximately 1619, which incorporated the stump of the old Royal Hunting Lodge. Today, only the central block and the garden walls remain, with the east and west wings having been demolished during the extensive remodelling of the 1730s. This work was carried out by Leonard Thompson, who gave the house its present Queen Anne character, which included entirely re-facing the property with new brickwork to enclose the original structure. Internally a new staircase was installed and the height of the Great Hall was reduced in order to create the first floor early Georgian drawing room. The Victorian wing was added in 1848, which added well-proportioned rooms forming the master bedroom suite and drawing room.

The architectural and historical importance of the property is highlighted by the fact that Sheriff Hutton Hall is Grade I listed and lies within Grade II* listed Parks and Gardens. Other Grade II listed features including the Ice House, garden walls and a number of listed statutes and urns.

Description

the principal staircase dating from approximately 1730. A particular feature is the fine Stucco friezes and plaster work to the ceilings complemented by well-proportioned rooms within the Victorian extension.

In conjunction with English Heritage the owner has sought to create a modern family home whilst at the same

time conserving, preserving and restoring many of the architectural features. Planning consent was granted in 2013 for alterations to include erection of a replacement conservatory, construction of a metal and glass canopy over the east courtyard, the building of a new garage block, replacement of a 20th

Century staircase, installation of a lift together with internal alterations primarily associated with provision of new bathrooms and ancillary accommodation. The entrance door and steps have been relocated to their original position and recent capital works have included reroofing and repointing the main house, a programme of restoration to the original garden walls as well as careful restoration of a number of the listed statues. Resurfacing of the entrance drive has added to the ease of access to the property.
