Entire Yorkshire village goes on sale for £20m

HAVE you got £20m to spare? A North Yorkshire village has gone on sale for the princely sum.

Under the guide price, West Heslerton near Malton is up for sale.

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.

The village site being sold includes 110 acres of woodland, a school, a 21-bedroom mansion, as well as a pub, 43 homes and in total 2,116 acres of land.

According to The Guardian, annual rental and agricultural subsidy income comes in at £388,000.

It is also home to one of the largest archeological excavations of another village which was inhabited until 800AD.

Cundalls estate agents are facilitating the sale.
