3 The Aldburgh Estate Masham, North Yorkshire HG4 4DL A most attractive and historic Estate; comprising let farms, residential properties and development opportunities in a tremendous setting, close to Masham Masham 3 miles Ripon 9 miles Thirsk 14 miles Harrogate 20 miles Three equipped let farms Detached house Lodge Two pairs of cottages Pair of cottages and barn for renovation In-hand woodland Fishing on the River Ure Potential for a shoot About acres (423.9 hectares) For sale as a whole, by Private Treaty History The Aldburgh Estate has always, and continues to, reserve a place in local history. The Estate was acquired by the present owners family in 1958, from Colonel Rishworth. Prior to this, the Estate had been owned by the D Arcy Hutton family and once formed part of the extensive Fountains Abbey Estate. The present owners planted an avenue of copper beeches over 50 years ago, which still provide an attractive and eye-catching focal point to the Estate. The Estate Today The current Owners have lived at Aldburgh for over fifty years, and reside in the residential property known as Riverside. Comprising residential property, let farms and in-hand woodland, the Estate has three principal tenants, occupying three farms let on varying Tenancies. The land is used for growing arable crops and supporting mixed livestock enterprises. The in-hand woodlands have been managed by the Vendors and together with the single bank of the river Ure add to the attractiveness and sporting potential at Aldburgh. There remain future development opportunities on the Estate, ranging from the renovation of the High Farm Cottages, to exploring the possible conversion of the traditional farm buildings at Riverside and across the various steadings. Prospective purchasers will appreciate the layout of the woods and the topography of the Estate, which could help form the basis of a most enjoyable shoot. Situation The Aldburgh Estate occupies an enviable position on the edge of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the attractive market town of Masham in the county of North Yorkshire. The surrounding landscape is characterised by mixed farming, ancient woodlands and far reaching views towards the Dales to the west and the North Yorkshire Moors to the east. Notwithstanding the rural setting, Aldburgh is within easy reach of the wider country and communications. The A1(M) can be easily accessed at Junction 51, approximately eight miles distant. Mainline train services leave from Thirsk (15 miles) and provide a high-speed service to London (2hrs 30 mins) and Edinburgh (2hrs 45 mins). The nearby towns of Harrogate and Ripon provide a wealth of services and recreational opportunities. Many of the local areas have been listed as some of the Best Places to Live (2017) according to The Times.
