Ewe Cote Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ewe Cote Hall is a historic building in Ewe Cote, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England.
The house was built in 1697,[1] perhaps on the site of a former grange of Whitby Abbey.[2] Francis Meadow Sutcliffe spent part of his childhood living in the house.[3] The kitchen garden was used by Botham's of Whitby to grow produce, when the shop was first opened.[4] The house was grade II* listed in 1954.[1] In 2024, it was marketed for sale for £1.35 million, at which time it had five bedrooms and two reception rooms, but was described as "in need of extensive refurbishment".[4]
The house is built of stone with a pantile roof. It has two storeys and attics, and five bays. The doorway is in the centre, and above it are initials and the date. The windows are mullioned and transomed. On the attic are two dormers with mullioned windows and segmental pediments. Inside there are contemporary features, including the staircase, panelling, and fireplaces.[1][5]
The house and garden are enclosed by a stone wall, built in 1737. This contains two entrances with round arches, a pediment and a ball finial. It is separately grade II* listed.[6][5]
