Description

North Wing is part of Firby Hall, a Grade II listed country house, which stands on the edge of Firby, a small hamlet perfectly situated in lovely countryside between the Howardian Hills and the Wolds. The property offers 4 bedroom accommodation with a large drawing room, office/playroom/dining room and a well fitted country kitchen and with oil fired central heating and underfloor heating to the ground floor. North Wing stands overlooking lawned gardens beyond which there is the original walled garden, which together with the paddock is used for grazing. There is a modern ‘L’ shaped stable block with 5 loose boxes which has easy access to the paddock. Although in beautiful open countryside, Firby is easily accessible via the A64 (2.5 miles) from the market town of Malton to the north east (6 miles) and City of York to the south west (12 miles). The A64 also gives good access to the East Coast and the centres of the West Riding and the motorway network. There is a railway station at Malton from where there are regular connections to both the East Coast and York from where London can be reached in under 2 hours.
