Description

Situated on the outskirts of Cawood, this detached house presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Located approximately six miles southeast of Tadcaster and five miles northeast of Selby, the setting offers a serene rural atmosphere while still maintaining accessibility to local amenities. Originally extended around 1971, the property has remained unfinished, providing a blank canvas for those with vision. The residence is set within approximately one acre of gardens, allowing ample space for landscaping or outdoor development. Additionally, an adjacent paddock extending over 5.6 acres offers further possibilities, particularly for equestrian enthusiasts or anyone interested in keeping livestock. Internally, the two-storey layout features three sizable reception rooms that lend themselves well to modern reconfiguration. The kitchen, inner hall with stairwell, and first-floor bedrooms present further opportunities for updates and personalization. Spacious rooms such as the 28-foot living area with a wood burner and provisions for an open fireplace in the second reception room contribute to the property's charm. This location benefits from proximity to both Selby and Tadcaster, which provide essential services including schools, shopping facilities, and recreational options. For broader access to urban amenities or commuting needs, York's mainline train station is within nine miles alongside good local transport links. The property is approached via a shared track off Ryther Road and includes parking options along with expansive lawned gardens at the front of the house. Mains water and electricity are connected, with sewage managed by a septic tank system. This offering not only allows for substantial investment through renovation but also provides the chance to create a substantial family home tailored to individual preferences in a peaceful rural setting. Interested parties are encouraged to explore this unique opportunity through scheduled viewings.
