Beal House is a Grade II listed manor house near the village of Thornton-le-Street, between Northallerton and Thirsk. The house dates back to the 18^th century and was originally built as the dower house for the Gautby Estate. It was recently sold by Croft Residential (York) for around £2million.

The primary sale of the contents of the Beal House was held in 2020 by Edinburgh-based auctioneers Lyon&Turnbull and grossed £900,000.

Auctioneer Jeremy Wood, said: “it’s a classic country house sale with an eclectic mix of antiques and furniture. Although some of the contents of Beal House had already been removed there are still a huge number of items to sell. We are expecting a lot of interest in the sale from private buyers as well as from the trade.”

The sale is catalogued in a room-by-room sequence.

Ryedale Auctioneers’ last country house sale took place in November 2021 and included the collection of the late David Hall, a Thirsk-based antiques dealer. The auction achieved a 99% sale rate and was Ryedale Auctioneers’ second largest grossing sale to date.

The Kirkbymoorside salerooms are open for public viewing Wednesday 26^th and Thursday 27^th January, 10am-4pm.
