In The Owner's Words
“I just fell in love with the setting as soon as I came down the drive, it was the combination off the ancient yews and water that first grabbed me. The house itself was so close to what I was looking for, and I could see how I could adapt it and extend it to fit our needs. I really don’t want to leave, but the time is right, and I am sure the next owner will love it as I have.” Becky H
The House
Welham Hall is a wonderful home offering seven principal bedrooms and bathrooms and six reception rooms. The current owner redesigned and extended the property creating an impressive home, with flexible accommodation over two floors. The house has a rare combination of reception rooms providing a solution to most family’s requirements.
The kitchen, which is at the heart of the house, comprises three distinct areas including a conservatory which serves as a dining area with French doors onto a flagged terrace overlooking the lake. Adjacent is a generous utility room. The principal reception rooms are designed for entertaining and there are further rooms ideal for family life. For those who work from home the current owner has a study and there is a useful office.
There is an attached “annex” with its own kitchenette, a WC and the office, with two first floor rooms that have been used as an overflow for children’s “sleepovers”. This could be used for a number of purposes, including staff accommodation or an independent work area separate from the main living space.
On the first floor, is an opulent master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and a dressing room. There are French doors opening onto a balcony with a view across the fabulous garden- “There is nowhere better to enjoy a moment of peace first thing in the morning”.
There are three more first floor bedrooms with en suites, one with a dressing room or an additional bedroom. In addition, the owner created a guest wing on the ground floor with three bedrooms, all en suite. There could be up to ten bedrooms in all, if needed.
The Barn Annex
Across a courtyard is a spacious converted barn, which is used as a games room, with a kitchenette, gym and shower room. This is a fabulous space that could provide further independent accommodation and is separately rated.
Outside
Welham Hall is approached along a sweeping driveway, through Malton and Norton Golf Course, which leads to the property’s stone pillared gateway. As you approach the house the magnificent lakes reveal themselves, and there is ample parking to the front of the house and in the central yard.
The extensive grounds include a very pretty, terraced garden with lawns and beautifully planted borders. Running down to the lake is a lawn, and beyond is the orchard and arena. To the east of the house there is a tennis court and paddocks.
There is a range of former stables providing useful garden storage and general stores.
Equestrian
The owner built a timber stable block to the side of the house with a slate roof, providing four stables, a feed room, tack room, rug store and small hay barn. Accessed along a short, rubber matted walkway is a silicon and rubber surfaced arena. There are four paddocks. Whilst not defining the property, the equestrian facilities are ideal for those with a couple of horses and a pony.
Location
Welham is a secluded hamlet across the River Derwent from Malton. Despite being extremely accessible, it is surprisingly peaceful being tucked away from Norton and Malton. There are excellent local facilities including a cinema, independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants and Malton Train Station. Malton is often referred to as the food capital of The North and was voted as one of the best places to live in Britain by The Times in 2017 and 2018.
The surrounding countryside is stunning, with the Yorkshire Wolds to the east and Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding National Beauty to the west. The North York Moors are 13 miles to the North and North Yorkshire’s coast 25 miles to the East. Malton has primary and secondary schools. Local independent schools include Ampleforth (16 miles), Terrington (10 miles) and Pocklington (16 miles).
The A64, which gives access to York, the A1 and Leeds, is 3 miles from Welham. Malton Train Station has regular services across the country between Manchester and Scarborough. Trains to York take less than half an hour, which connect to London in under two hours.
Services
Mains electricity, private drainage and a ground source heat pump serving the house.
Rights Of Way
The section of drive to the house’s private entrance is owned by Welham Hall, and the neighbouring properties have a right of way over it. There is a maintenance agreement sharing the responsibility for the shared part.
