Whixley Hall: A Grade II Listed Country House Near York
Whixley Hall, a three-bedroom property under a pantile roof, is part of the Whixley Hall estate and is currently on the property market. This Grade II listed detached country house, located in the picturesque village of Whixley, near York, North Yorkshire, is offered with a guide price around £6,000,000 as of August 2025.
The history of Whixley Hall is somewhat sparse, but as a Grade II listed building, it is recognized as a nationally important structure of special interest, typically dating back at least to the 19th century or earlier. The key features of the property, inferred from its listed status and sale listing, likely include period architecture, spacious accommodation, and a beautiful countryside setting near York.
Modern additions to Whixley Hall include a bio mass boiler and craftsman-made secondary glazing, enhancing the property's energy efficiency. The formal gardens are enclosed by high brick walls, ensuring a wonderfully private space featuring neat lawns, clipped box, specimen trees, parterre, a kitchen garden, and a sizeable vegetable garden behind the stables. Beyond the gardens, there are approximately 55 acres of grassy paddocks and woodland shelter belts to the north and west.
An additional 41 acres of parkland are available to the south of a minor road, available by separate negotiation. The building dates back to the mid-to-late 17th century, but the stone slate roof was added in the 20th century. The current state of Whixley Hall is described as a large house with six good-sized bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a self-contained one-bedroomed apartment. Two large attic rooms could potentially be converted into bedrooms.
Whixley Hall was once bequeathed as an almshouse for 12 elderly gentlemen. An engraving in the hallway reads 'Christopher Tancred's seat 1698', suggesting a connection to the Tancred family.
