The building was grade II* listed in 1952. The house is built of stone, with a rectangular double courtyard plan, and a hipped Roman tile roof with stone ridges, coping and moulded kneelers, and fronts of seven and twelve bays. The northwest front has a central three-storey tower and flanking two storey three-bay wings. The tower contains a four-centred arched doorway, above which is a tripartite window, a two-light mullioned window with a hood mould, a string course, and an embattled parapet. The wings contain sash windows with chamfered surrounds, and in the bays flanking the tower are attic dormers with shaped pediments containing relief busts in the tympana.

Battersby is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire, 5 miles (8 km) east of Stokesley, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Kildale. The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the hundred of Langbaurgh, and having one ploughland. The name is recorded in 1086 as Badresbi, and in the 14th century as Batheresby. The first part is an Old Norse name (Bothvar or Boðvarr), and the by means farmstead. In the Late Middle Ages a watermill was employed on the local beck (Otter Hills Beck, and affluent of the River Leven) to grind corn. Until 1974, the hamlet was in the North Riding of Yorkshire, part of the Stokesley Rural District, being transferred to the Hambleton District of the newer county of North Yorkshire. In 2023 the districts were abolished to be replaced by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. It is now part of the civil parish of Ingleby Greenhow, and is represented at the Houses of Parliament as part of the Richmond and Northallerton constituency.

Ingleby Greenhow is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the border of the North York Moors and 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Great Ayton. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The parish of Ingleby Greenhow has records of a John Thomasson de Grenehow, a member of the clergy, who in 1376 "had to appear before a Commission appointed to be tried with several others for either poaching or cutting down timber, or destroying property belonging to Peter de Malo Luca the 6th, of Mulgrave Castle". The name may derive from the Saxon for Englishman's green hill. How, derived from the Old Norse word haugr, means hill or mound. Ingleby Manor was bought by a Scottish courtier David Foulis in 1608. St Andrew's Church, Ingleby Greenhow, was almost entirely rebuilt in 1741, but has a Norman chancel arch inside. In 1931, British altitude and distance records for gliders were established over the moors near here, as recounted by the novelist, pilot, and aeronautical engineer Nevil Shute in his memoir, Slide Rule. The glider, a Tern produced by Shute's company, Airspeed Ltd. was flown by a skilled German sailplane pilot, Carl Magersuppe, who had been hired by Airspeed.

Cockayne is an isolated hamlet in North Yorkshire, England. It is the largest settlement in the civil parish of Bransdale, in the North York Moors national park. The nearest towns are Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside, both 10 miles (16 km) away, to the south and south east respectively.The Cleveland Way long-distance footpath crosses the northern end of Cockayne Ridge, which rises above the hamlet to the north, reaching a summit of 1,447 feet (441 m) at Cockayne Head. The settlement, under the southern tip of the ridge, is a mere 738 feet (225 m) above sea level, according to the Ordnance Survey. Cockayne is at the head of Bransdale, a southward facing valley cut into the moors. The hamlet is the furthest north that can be travelled in the dale by vehicle (apart from a track through the plantation north of the hamlet). Bransdale Lodge (or Cockayne Lodge) is a house built in the mid 19th century and once used by the Earl of Feversham as a shooting lodge. The small church of St Nicholas, now a grade II listed building, was built about 1800 as a chapel of ease in the ancient parish of Kirkby Moorside.The hamlet is, with the exception of the Church and Glebe, entirely owned by the National Trust. The overwhelming part of the 1,925 acres (779 ha) Bransdale estate was transferred to the National Trust through National Land Fund procedures in 1972 and comprises all the farmland and a small amount of woodland in the valley.Studies carried out on the heather moorland at Cockayne Head and Ridge have shown that repairing the moorland after major fires helps prevent flooding in times of heavy rain. When the moorland is burnt the peat dries out and flakes, but when the peat is allowed to grow back, it acts like a natural sponge to retain water and release it slowly over days and weeks, which helps to prevent flooding further downstream.

Bransdale is a valley running south through North Yorkshire, England, and part of the North York Moors National Park. Sandwiched between Bilsdale to the west and Farndale to the east, it is formed from the dales of Bransdale itself at the top of the valley, Sleightholmedale and Kirkdale. It carries a river called Hodge Beck en route from Cockayne to the River Dove from Farndale three miles (4.8 km) of Kirkbymoorside, which runs on into the Vale of Pickering and the River Rye.Bransdale is also a civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England.
