Property for Sale in Easingwold
Easingwold is where it all started for us, and it’s easy to see why people fall for it. A handsome Georgian market town just north of York, it pairs independent shops and a proper Friday market with quick access to the city and the A19. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Easingwold, no one knows it better than we do.
A characterful market town in the heart of the Vale of York
Easingwold blends the best of small-town life with genuine country charm. Its Georgian market place, independent shops and Friday market sit at the centre of a close-knit community, while respected schools, everyday amenities and quick links to York make it as practical as it is pretty. Green fields and quiet lanes begin where the town ends, so there’s room to breathe just moments from your front door. It’s a town that suits families, professionals and downsizers alike, and one people rarely want to leave once they’ve found it.
Whether you’re thinking of moving to Easingwold and Surrounding Villages or you’ve called it home for years, our area guide brings together the very best of what the town and its surrounding villages have to offer.
Living in Easingwold
Life in Easingwold revolves around its handsome Georgian market place, where independent shops, delis, cafés and a couple of proper pubs sit around a cobbled square that has barely changed in two hundred years. The Friday market still pulls people in from the surrounding villages, and there’s a real sense that folk here know their neighbours. You can do the school run, pick up the week’s shopping and stop for a coffee without once getting in the car.
Weekends belong to the countryside on your doorstep: footpaths out into the Vale of York, bike rides down quiet lanes and long Sunday lunches. It’s the kind of town where a quick errand turns into a chat on the corner, and where newcomers tend to settle in far quicker than they expected.

Schools and families
Easingwold is a firm favourite with families, and schooling is a big part of why. Easingwold School has a strong local reputation and draws pupils from right across the area, while the town and nearby villages are served by well-regarded primary schools within easy reach. Beyond the classroom there’s plenty to keep children busy, from toddler groups and playgroups to sports clubs, Brownies, Scouts and holiday activities through the summer.
Families tell us it’s an easy place to put down roots: safe, friendly and small enough that children grow up with a genuine sense of belonging.
Getting around
One of Easingwold’s biggest draws is how neatly it balances peace and quiet with real convenience. York is around 13 miles south, roughly half an hour by car, with the A19 giving quick, direct links to the city, north to Thirsk and on to the A1(M) for Leeds and beyond.
Plenty of our buyers commute daily to York or Leeds and still make it home in time for tea. Regular buses run to York and Thirsk for those who’d rather leave the car behind, and the East Coast Main Line stations at York and Thirsk put London within easy reach when you need it.
The Easingwold property market
Easingwold offers real variety, which is a large part of its appeal. In and around the market place you’ll find elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses, characterful period cottages and handsome red-brick homes, while the edges of town bring modern family houses and newer developments with gardens and garages. Venture into the surrounding villages and there’s everything from pretty stone cottages to substantial country homes with land. Whatever your budget or stage of life, from a first flat to a forever home, there’s usually something here to tempt you.
