Highwood House is elevated and surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Howardian Hills, enjoying a position and backdrop that few country houses can match. Originally constructed of dressed stone circa 2010, recent improvements by the current owners have led to the creation of a family home that extends more than 11,000 sq ft and presents boundless luxury in a rural setting. Its bespoke interiors offer a bold and sophisticated aesthetic rarely equalled in this prestigious corner of North Yorkshire.
The multi-faceted leisure suite features a pool house with a living sedum roof and sliding glass doors that, when open, create the illusion of an external pool area; alongside is the terrace with an outdoor kitchen positioned to enjoy all-encompassing views.
Highwood House relishes its privacy but is conveniently located just a mile outside an historic and highly regarded village, some half an hour’s drive from York.

Outside:
Automated electric cast-iron gates open to a gravelled drive with parking bays that passes in front of the house to meet an area of resin paving alongside the garages. Box hedge borders provide an elegant frontage, and a row of lavender runs alongside a low stone wall. A flight of stone steps descends to sweeping lawns fringed by a wildflower meadow with a paddock beyond. Sculptural gardens surround three sides house including a parterre on the western edge.
Every corner is beautifully designed, resplendent in all seasons, imaginatively planted with specimen shrubs and trees sourced from Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. There is an antique Italian marble fountain with lily pond, lawns and York stone terraces illuminated by lanterns, herbaceous borders and raised beds, mature native trees and both hedges and estate fencing.

A fenced paddock with a field shelter and separate access from Moor Lane lies on the northern side of the property. The perimeter is marked by a five bar fence.
