Walcot Hall is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian manor house with opulent interiors, offering stunning holiday accommodation. Surrounded by five acres of historic formal gardens and set within a private twenty-seven acre estate, this really is an opportunity to enjoy an ultimate luxury staycation at any time of year.
With five bedrooms sleeping ten guests, and the option of using the secluded yurt within the grounds to sleep another two, Walcot Hall is perfect for your extended family get together or celebration, ideal to enjoy a special Christmas, or simply as a special holiday to make memories you will cherish for years to come.
The front of the house offers a stunning entrance, and once through the doors the main entrance hall does not disappoint. With high ceilings and beautiful features, an impressive crystal chandelier hangs centrally in the space, drawing the eye upward to the grand sweeping staircase.
On the ground floor there are multiple welcoming reception rooms to choose from, all with immaculate décor and different features to offer. The main drawing room is an elegant yet flexible space, with multi aspect windows all around and views out across the gardens. In here there are large sofas and armchairs, providing ample seating around the feature fireplace, the perfect space to relax in at any time of day. There is also a large dining table, comfortably seating eight, with space for more chairs where necessary.
The snug offers another large living space, also with log burner in the fireplace, a TV, and comfortable sofas. This is a great room for cosy winter evenings curled up in front of the fire.
The formal dining hall is the largest and most decadent reception room, and can be dressed according to your needs for each stay. Able to seat a large number of people over several round dining tables, this is ideal for entertaining, or if preferred a more intimate setting can be created for a smaller group.
The kitchen is a glorious example of a fine country kitchen, with beautiful wooden cabinetry, a large kitchen island, and a wonderfully homely feel. It is excellently equipped with all manner of kitchenware. Additionally there is a dishwasher, and the main feature - a full size Aga range cooker, set proudly in what would have been the original kitchen fireplace. There is also a farmhouse table to seat four, providing informal dining space ideal for social family breakfasts. Off the kitchen there is also a pantry, offering storage space and providing essentials such as oils and spices if needed.
In the separate utility/boot room, there is yet more storage space, and a washing machine and tumble dryer are provided for use where necessary.
The bedrooms are situated on the first and second floors, and all are dressed to a very high standard, each with their own individual style of décor. The master suite offers a king-size bed, dressing/sitting space, and en-suite bathroom comprising fitted bath with shower over. The second and third bedrooms also offer king-size beds, and the fourth and fifth are double. The main bathroom is very spacious, with an opulent large claw-footed roll top bath and double aspect windows giving views out over the grounds. There is also a further guest WC on the ground floor for convenience.
Additionally there is a luxury yurt in the gardens of the house, available for your use, offering additional private accommodation. It has sumptuous soft furnishings, a double bed, its own decked area with hot tub, and adjoining en-suite shower room. This is a glorious option for those wanting something a little more unconventional, whilst still having all the facilities of the manor house at close hand!
Additionally, there is also a gym room within the house, BBQ for your use, and tennis courts (please bring your own racquets). There is ample private parking for up to 16 cars.
You have full access to the gardens and grounds at your leisure, and are welcome to bring your cherished pets, as the house is dog friendly, and there are ample dog-friendly local countryside and woodland walks on the doorstep. There are also stables and a full manège plus further paddocks, so if you wish to bring your horse along for your stay, it will be well catered for.
Locally, you will be spoilt for choice with places to explore. Whilst the local village of Alkborough has a tearoom and shop, the larger destinations of York, Lincoln and Beverley are all easily reachable by car, so there are plenty of choices for shops, theatres, and restaurants.
