The property

York 6.9 miles.

Kexby House is an outstanding Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse resting in Kexby near the historic city of York.

Originating in the 1750s and accommodating 12 guests across the main house and annexe, this impressive getaway is perfectly suited to families and groups of friends, featuring a hot tub, cinema room, games facilities and excellent access to the North York Moors National Park.

Arrive via the driveway and take in the striking Georgian exterior, surrounded by generous lawns, established hedges and mature trees.

Step inside and discover a home where period elegance and careful restoration are evident throughout.

Venture into the sitting room, where a generously sized sofa, footstool and armchair provide inviting spots to gather around the TV, while artwork and a statement light fitting contribute to the room’s refined character.

The drawing room presents another attractive space for socialising, complete with wooden flooring, leather armchairs, an open fireplace and a stag’s head displayed above the mantelpiece.

Select a book from the collection, enjoy an evening drink or simply spend time together beside the fire.

The kitchen/diner forms the social heart of the home, with exposed beams overhead, tiled flooring and bright white cabinetry creating an appealing setting.

Gather around the wooden dining table with bench seating for breakfast before a day of exploration, then return to prepare delicious meals and celebrate special occasions together.

For evening entertainment, retreat to the cinema room, where navy walls, carefully chosen artwork and an elegant chandelier set the scene.

Sink into the plush corner sofa, rest your feet on the footrest and enjoy a film with loved ones.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms continue the property's grand feel, each benefiting from soft carpeting and plenty of room to unwind.

The bathrooms are equally eye-catching, including one adorned with vibrant red tiling and space for a long soak at the end of the day.

The single-storey annexe offers additional accommodation for larger gatherings, with its vaulted ceiling and exposed beams creating a wonderful sense of space.

Come together in the open-plan living area, share meals around the dining table, transform it into a games table for a competitive evening, or enjoy table tennis, air hockey and pool.

Two further bedrooms and a stylish shower room featuring turquoise tiling complete the annexe.

Outside, the grounds provide plenty of space to enjoy the fresh air, with a sprawling lawn, patio and outdoor seating inviting guests to make the most of their surroundings.

As evening settles in, head up the steps to the hot tub and relax while taking in views of the garden.

A shop and traditional pub can be found nearby, while the river is within easy walking distance.

York offers a fantastic day out, from exploring the historic lanes of The Shambles and admiring York Minster to uncovering fascinating exhibits at the National Railway Museum.

Visitors can also browse independent shops, sample local dining spots and enjoy walks alongside the river.

The North York Moors National Park reveals some of the region’s most remarkable landscapes, with rolling heather-covered moorland, scenic walking routes through valleys and woodland, and charming villages waiting to be explored.

Blending Georgian character, excellent leisure facilities and a superb location for discovering East Riding of Yorkshire, Kexby House provides an exceptional backdrop for memorable getaways with family and friends.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £700.

About the location

YORK

Howardian Hills AONB 14 miles; Leeds 25 miles; North York Moors National Park 25.4 miles.

The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
