These particulars are intended only as a guide and must not be relied upon as statements of fact. Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. Situation Burneston lies some 4 miles south of the popular and well serviced Dales town of Bedale and following the recent upgrade of the A1(M) to motorway standards, offers excellent accessibility further afield. With the Cathedral City of Ripon some 15 miles to the south, the location is within commuting distance of both the West Yorkshire and Teesside conurbations, most notably Harrogate, Leeds and York.

Burneston Hall itself affords a high degree of privacy with the stature one might expect of a listed Georgian house believed to date from the early 18th Century and having later Victorian additions.

The property sits in some 3.4 acres including lovely formal gardens that are predominantly lawned and with a significant mature woodland belt to the boundary. The gardens have been meticulously maintained and include a croquet lawn and more importantly a lawn tennis court with historic connections to Wimbledon.

Former resident Canon J T Hartley was resident at Burneston Hall between 1874 and 1919 during which time he was Wimbledon singles champion in 1879 and 1880. Description The generous living accommodation extends to a floor area of some 5,500 sq ft over three floors and offers considerable flexibility of use to suit modern day requirements. There is an immediate sense of arrival up a gravelled driveway with a sweeping entrance to the front of The Hall.

Reflecting the classic styling of its design, the central hallway running the full length of the property offers a nicely proportioned morning room, elegant dining room as well as a large drawing room on the south western corner with doors onto extensive terracing, ideal for summer evenings entertaining. The library offers potential as a home office to complement the second floor study and there is also a large breakfast kitchen as one might expect.

The upper floor accommodation includes a spacious master suite of bedroom, dressing room and bathroom with the possibility of 6 further bedrooms over 2 floors with expected bathing facilities. Outside The outside of Burneston Hall is equally impressive. In addition to the formal gardens there is an orchard, a particularly useful range of outbuildings in addition to a Victorian brick stable block and coach house being part single storey and part two storey and extending in total to some 2,400 sq ft.
