Description

Nestled in a tranquil and private area of Ulleskelf, this versatile detached home features up to five bedrooms, presenting an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. The property combines modern family living with charming countryside aesthetics, making it suitable for families or individuals seeking a peaceful retreat. The entrance hall welcomes you with a guest W.C., leading into a spacious living room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom. A study area complements the layout, offering potential for a home office or playroom. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home, featuring contemporary units, integrated appliances including a double fridge/freezer, and a large island perfect for hosting. Bi-folding doors create an inviting transition to the south-facing garden, enhancing the indoor-outdoor experience ideal for gatherings. Practical amenities include a utility room and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The downstairs bedroom comes with its own modern en-suite, catering well to guests or multigenerational living. Notably, this space has the potential for upward extension (subject to planning consent), allowing for greater versatility. Upstairs, the principal bedroom showcases an en-suite bathroom complete with an island bath and air conditioning, along with French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking serene countryside views. Two more generously sized bedrooms also feature en-suite shower rooms; one provides direct access to the balcony while another boasts views over the front garden. Set on an expansive plot with considerable privacy, this property features ample off-street parking via a long gravel driveway. The landscaped garden includes mature plantings and various seating areas ideal for entertaining outdoors. A standout element is the garden room—currently utilized as a bar/games area—which could revert to garage use if desired. Moreover, there is substantial land adjacent to the garden that holds significant potential for further development—whether constructing additional dwellings or converting it into paddock space (subject to necessary planning approvals). This unique property not only offers ample internal space but also presents remarkable investment opportunities in this desirable Yorkshire village. Ulleskelf itself is conveniently located near local amenities such as shops and schools, with good transport links including proximity to rail services on the York/Leeds line.
