Highwood House, Gilling East

Guide Price £4,500,000

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.
