Outstanding country house with glorious gardens, grounds and extensive outbuildings with pp, located near York.Bossall Hall stands in the midst of its gardens and grounds on the crest of an area of high land to the west of the Derwent valley. It has been comprehensively renovated over the last two years and is now offered for sale as a luxuriously appointed country house with glorious gardens including a drained moat and a range of outbuildings all with planning permission. The property enjoys an idyllic setting within a sleepy rural hamlet just a short drive from the city of York and the market town of Malton. Tradition has it that Bossall was established in 686 by Bosa, a monk from St Hilda's monastery in Whitby, when he retired to his house there (Boza's Hall). The standing Hall has itself had a colourful 400-year history. In 1623 the Manor of Bossall was purchased by William Belt who oversaw the construction of the Hall and moat. The family held the manor until the late 1880s although Sir Robert Belt, then Lord Mayor of York, was dispossessed in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The house itself is part Jacobean but was largely rebuilt in the 18th century in the style of a Palladian country house. The moat was drained in the 1790s and records suggest that the resident fish including perch were relocated to the newly built lake at nearby Castle Howard. In 1808 a brick bridge was built across the eastern arm of the moat, and it stands to this day.Principal house arranged over 3 floors with loft space and comprising kitchen/family room, 4 reception rooms, domestic offices, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathroomsAttached cottage comprising kitchen/dining room, 2 reception rooms, 3 bedrooms, bathroomSecond floor flat comprising kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bedroom, bathroom.
