£20m village has owner circling
AN offer has reportedly been made for a North Yorkshire village that went on the market in April 2016.
Cundalls, the estate agency marketing the village, which includes 110 acres of woodland, a school, a 21-bedroom mansion, a pub and 43 homes, said an offer was “on the table” according to the BBC.
Cundalls would not give any further information on the bid.
In total the sale includes 2,116 acres of land, from which rental and subsidy income is around £388,000 per annum.
The village has been owned by the same family for 150 years and has around 375 inhabitants.
Eve Dawnay owned the village until her death five years ago without an heir. She was a great-granddaughter of William Henry Dawnay, 7th Viscount Downe and of Lt.-Col. Arthur de Vere Capell, Viscount Malden, son of the 6th Earl of Essex.
