An exceptional residential estate incorporating an expansive farmhouse, a reconstructed grain mill, stabling and extensive garaging, set in approximately 7.5 acres of gardens and paddocks between York and Pocklington.
Newmill Farm, a former smallholding from the 1850s, has been masterfully transformed into a stunning residential estate. While retaining key components of the original buildings, the 21st century overhaul saw all sections restored, rebuilt or reconfigured, including the iconic former grain mill.
The Farm House
The centrepiece of the home is a remarkable 69-foot kitchen, divided into three distinct spaces. It connects to the original farmhouse via a two-storey glazed link, constructed in 2020, providing access to three elegant reception rooms; a spacious family sitting room, a cinema / games room, and an exquisite walnut-panelled library. The upper level comprises four generously sized double bedrooms and three contemporary bathrooms, including the principal suite with an open-plan dressing area and a circular marble wet room. The family wing connects to further living accommodation through the impressive kitchen, which boasts a defined dining area and a cosy family space with a contemporary double-sided fireplace. Abundant windows create a bright atmosphere, while the kitchen features quality painted timber units, a large island with informal seating area, Miele appliances and a 6-oven Aga.
Additional spaces include a utility / laundry room, a boot room, a walnut-panelled snooker room, and a wine room with cabinet storage and its own spittoon. The upper level accommodates two neutrally decorated double bedrooms and a shower room.
The Grain Mill
The grain mill, reconstructed in 2007 on the site of its mid-19th century forebear, is now one of the few remaining in the area. Rebuilt with original bricks, it presents a unique self-contained property across four floors, featuring a kitchen / dining room, sitting room, bathroom and bedroom, all offering stunning views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. While in need of some refurbishment, it has great potential as an annexe.
Outbuilding, Gardens and Grounds
The estate is accessed via video controlled electric gates leading to a sweeping tarmac drive, culminating in a spacious parking area. Indian stone terracing encircles the house, with extensive lawns and specimen trees. In addition to the formal gardens there are fenced paddocks of approximately four acres, which enhance the grounds and create the perfect property for equestrian enthusiasts. To the north, a range of outbuildings include a stable block with five loose boxes, an all-weather arena, hay store and tack room, all equipped with electricity and plumbing. Additionally, there is a sizeable three-bay garage accommodation six cars, including access for a horse box, along with a workshop and separate double garage.
Seaton Ross offers basic village amenities, with more extensive options available in Pocklington, about six miles away. This bustling market town features a health centre, dental and veterinary practices, shops, supermarkets, library, sports facilities, restaurant, arts centre and schools, including the historic 500-year-old Pocklington School. York (15 miles) and Howden (11 miles) provide regular mainline rail services, with journey times to London Kings Cross of under two hours.
The next steps...

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
