Property Of The Week: Earl Of Mexborough’s Yorkshire Mansion For Sale

Carter Jonas is selling an exceptional Grade II Listed Georgian property in Bempton – a short walk to Bempton Cliffs RSPB Nature reserve (where puffins are currently present) and its owned by The Earl of Mexborough and his wife Victoria Savile.

It is believed to be one of the oldest houses in the village and is steeped in history. The couple used local heritage architects Francis Johnson and partners to completely renovate and restore the property which was not in good condition when they bought it 4 years ago.

The family live in Yorkshire and bought the house to use is as a holiday home and a holiday let. Originally three bedrooms, they added a loft conversion and it now has 6 bedrooms and is immaculately finished.

The generous interior is arranged over three floors, offering 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and flexible living space to accommodate the most demanding of families. Wonderful original features abound, including an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and wood burners. The bespoke kitchen provides a stunning centrepiece, complemented by two dining rooms, two living rooms and a games room. Each of the five double bedrooms benefits from an ensuite bathroom.

Outside, private gardens extend to the rear, offering a delightful sun-trapped patio and BBQ area along with an indulgent hot tub - the perfect space for entertaining. Beyond are a range of outbuildings that are ripe for development, whether that's an art gallery, business, office, boathouse storage or possible holiday let units – (all subject to planning) or even simply extra garden if desired.

The idyllic setting in the heart of Bempton village puts this home within easy reach of the magnificent Flamborough Heritage Coast, renowned for its soaring chalk cliffs and world-class birdwatching. A plethora of stately homes and outdoor pursuits in the Yorkshire Wolds and North York Moors are also on the doorstep, as well as access to amenities in nearby Filey, Bridlington and York.
