A rare vacancy at an award-winning rural estate near York Yorkshire Counties
Two quality offices have just become vacant at The Menagerie, Escrick Park, six miles south of York.
The Menagerie is one of seven converted farmsteads at the historic Escrick Park Estate which has been in the same family ownership for over 350 years.
The buildings were awarded the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors Best Converted Farm Buildings Award soon after com- pletion in the early 2000s. In 2012 Escrick Park also won the cov- eted Europe-wide Anders Wall Award for Creating a Positive Rural Environment.
The offices are the 1,700 sq ft 4 Bramleys Barn, with an annual rent of £19,500 per annum and the 780 sq ft 8 Bramleys Barn, with a monthly rent of £950. The offices come with full oil-fired central heating, free parking for staff and visitors, quiet seating areas and beautiful parkland and woodland walks nearby.
Beilby Forbes Adam, Managing Partner at Escrick Park, commented: “There is now a thriving business community at Escrick Park with over 40 offices and light industrial units. Occupancy is close to 100% because of easy access, the quality of the buildings and the superb setting.
“The proximity of both York and Selby railway stations is a substantial benefit, as is the nearby Sustrans national cycle path for those who want to keep fit. The national motorway network is only a 15-minute drive, with the M18 at Howden and the A64 leading to the M1 15 minutes to the north.
“Our family is keen on continuity and, as we are very local landlords, we have extremely good relations with our tenants and are close at hand to help. We also offer reasonable rents and the business rates charged by North Yorkshire County Council are considerably less
than in urban areas. The Menagerie is a great location to enhance productivity and creativity, too.”
All the other 8 offices at the Menagerie are fully let to the following tenants: C-Kore Systems Ltd, JMark Construction Ltd, V F M Associates Ltd, Tukans Ltd, The Horse Vet Ltd and Smith Tunbridge Ayres Ltd.
Elaine Hukins, Office Manager at C-Kore, commented: “The Menagerie is a great place for our staff to work. Whilst being rural
,it is located close to the A19 enabling our staff to commute easily from York, Selby, and both the East and West Riding of Yorkshire.
“The tranquil location is ideal for our design staff to work on new exciting products, and our engineers to provide remote training and support to our customers who could be located anywhere in the world, whilst still having the infrastructure we need for freight forwarders to meet time critical collection deadlines for our bespoke built equipment.”
C-Kore Systems Limited has developed a patented range of subsea testing tools which are used globally. The test equipment is auto- mated and useable by unskilled operators and subsea remotely operated vehicles. This results in safer working practices and can often mean significant cost savings for their customers.
Having moved to The Menagerie, Escrick in 2018, C-Kore had one unit and plenty of space to grow. Since that time they have grown rapidly, having twice been awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise (Innovation in 2019, and International Trade in 2021) and having now been awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise (International Trade 2024). Throughout this time Escrick Park Estate have worked hand in hand with them to provide further facilities for their expanding workforce.

Eddisons appointed to let Eagle Mills’s first Sheffield business park
North East developer Mandale Group has appointed Eddisons to let its flagship Mandale Park S20 multi-purpose business units scheme in Sheffield, its first development in the city.
The 21-unit, 33,000 sq ft development near Holbrook Industrial Estate in south east Sheffield, which is due for completion in June, will consist of two-storey hybrid units designed for office and warehouse use.
Each 1,500 sq ft, £23,000 p/a unit will include ground-floor warehouse or storage space with high-spec adaptable office space, kitchen and toilet above. The units will also be fitted with solar panel systems.
George Thompson, director at Eddisons in Sheffield, said: “Mandale are known for creating flexible and functional mod- ern business spaces across the north of England that can be tailored to specific needs and that is exactly what they have done with their new Sheffield development, which is their first venture in the city.“
Mandale has been responsible for new and refurbished schemes across the UK, including recently completed indus- trial estates in Rotherham, Newcastle and its native Stockton On-Tees.
Network Space Investments Acquires Prime Sheffield Industrial Estate
Network Space Investments (NSI) has completed the £9 million acquisition of a prominent 103,262 sq ft industrial estate on Grange Mill Lane in Sheffield – just minutes from Meadowhall and junction 34 of the M1.
Comprising four vacant warehouse units with gener- ous, secure yard space and parking, NSI will comprehen- sively refurbish and reposition the estate as a modern, high-spec industrial hub. This will deliver high-quality space across a range of flexible unit sizes from 10,000 to 50,000 sq ft, all featuring eight-metre eaves. The new units will be available from late summer 2025, adding much-needed supply to a highly constrained local market.
This latest acquisition is part of NSI’s strategy to redeploy cap- ital following the recent successful disposal of Europa Way at Trafford Park.
It also follows recent acquisitions in Oakhill, Manchester, and Cowley Way, Sheffield, further strengthening the company’s footprint across key regional industrial markets.
Roger Haworth at CPP acted on behalf of the vendor. NSI was unrepresented.
