Helperby is a large village bounded by the River Swale and situated roughly midway between Easingwold and Boroughbridge/A1. Parts of the village and much of the surrounding land remain in the ownership of the family who own the Estate, and this ensures that inappropriate local development has been resisted.

Pheasants Walk was once two cottages, housing the Estate keeper and kennel man. This striking house has been fully extended and renovated throughout creating the wonderful home you see today. Under the stewardship of the present owners the house, which extends to some 3066 sq ft, has been meticulously improved, with due deference to the character of the original.

Outside
The property is situated at the edge of the estate village and is approached up a long avenue of lime trees deeply lined with snowdrops. A 5 bar entrance gate leads to a gravel drive and turning area. There is a 3 bay car port/barn to the right and, behind, an area of woodland with bulbs, conifers and rhododendrons. In front of the house there is a sheltered walled courtyard with a range of domestic outbuildings including a bike store, freezer room, bin store, workshop and covered seating area. 

The main garden stretches west and south immediately in front of house. Leading from the courtyard there is a shrubbery area with high laurel hedge, and through an archway is the kitchen garden with soft fruit trees surrounded by a low wall. Adjacent is the tractor shed and further outbuildings comprising stores and a garden room which houses the solar energy system with 16 panels on the roof. The rest of the garden slopes away to the west with a fringe of woodland, mainly Scot pines and oaks. There is a splendid sycamore and weeping willow on the lawn with wildlife abounding in the farmland surrounding this wonderful plot. The house originally provided accommodation for the kennel man and game keeper, explaining the name on the land plan. 

Approx 1.75 acres
