A five-bedroom detached house in Galphay, near Ripon in North Yorkshire, has gone on sale for £3.75 million.
The luxury country property is being sold by estate agency Fine & Country and is offered fully furnished following extensive renovations throughout.
Spanning more than 8,000 square feet, the residence sits within six acres of private grounds designed to accommodate both domestic pets and horses.
Galphay is a rural village in North Yorkshire, situated close to the historic cathedral city of Ripon and the Nidderdale region. The area is known for its countryside properties and access to regional transport links.
Property layout and luxury amenities
The interior features a large open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area fitted with exposed ceiling beams and floor-to-ceiling windows. The bespoke kitchen comes equipped with integrated high-end appliances, a central island, and a breakfast bar.
On the ground floor, the main bedroom suite features bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden, a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite bathroom. In total, the house contains five bathrooms.
A connecting hallway leads to the right wing of the building, which houses a gym, swimming pool, sauna, and shower facility. Two additional bedrooms are located in this wing, with one opening onto an outdoor terrace leading to the garden.
A spiral staircase leads to an upper level containing a home cinema room, a built-in cocktail bar, a dedicated home office, and a five-metre viewing window that overlooks the swimming pool below.
Outside, a large standalone garage has been converted for use as an entertainment suite, games room, and secondary gym space.
Equestrian facilities and outdoor grounds
The property includes extensive equestrian facilities tailored for horse owners. These features comprise multiple paddocks, five individual stables, a dedicated tack room, and a horse wash area for hosing down animals.
The grounds also contain a manege, an enclosed arena used for training and riding horses. For domestic pets, the estate includes a custom heated dog kennel.
The landscaped garden areas feature expansive lawns, multiple stone patio areas, a hot tub, and an outdoor plunge ice bath.
The grounds offer surrounding countryside views, with the entire estate maintained in move-in ready condition for prospective buyers.
Local area and family appeal
Louise Smith, branch manager at Fine & Country Wetherby, said the agency expects strong interest from buyers seeking rural living alongside practical amenities.
"We expect the property to appeal to families who want the countryside and the equestrian side without giving up village life, the pub is a two-minute walk, there are primary schools in the neighbouring villages and a strong choice of secondary and independent education within easy reach in Ripon and Harrogate," Smith said.
"The layout also lends itself to multi-generational living, with the wings giving extended families their own space under one roof," she added.
The neighboring villages of Grantley and Kirkby Malzeard are located a short drive from the house, while the city of Ripon is approximately 15 minutes away by car.
Housing market and mortgage trends
The listing comes as official figures from HM Land Registry show the average British home increased in value by £5,000 in the year to June, representing a 2 per cent year-on-year rise.
HM Land Registry is the official executive agency responsible for recording property ownership in England and Wales. The latest annual growth rate marks a slowdown compared to April and May, when prices rose by 4 per cent and 3 per cent respectively.
Property price growth during early summer 2026 remained weaker than in the corresponding period of 2025. Prices grew by 0.1 per cent between May and June this year, compared to a 1 per cent gain recorded over the same period a year earlier. Industry analysts expect market activity to rebound in September.
Meanwhile, borrowing costs for home buyers have risen following increases in mortgage rates. Inflation triggered by conflict with Iran has diminished expectations of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England, creating higher financing costs for buyers and homeowners seeking to remortgage.
The Bank of England, the UK's central bank, sets interest rates to maintain price stability across the economy.
