This property presents a distinctive opportunity to acquire a country home set in a tranquil rural landscape just off the A64 and a short drive from York. Set on an ample plot of approximately 0.41 acres, the residence boasts expansive parking and a versatile outbuilding, all while offering potential for cosmetic updates to the spacious 1,959 sq ft interior. Originally built in the 1920s and on the market for the first time in over five decades, this home provides a blank canvas for buyers looking to enhance their living space.
The inviting reception hall opens into a formal dining room featuring an elegant bay window that floods the space with natural light. A comfortable sitting room, measuring 16'8", centers around an appealing open fireplace and overlooks the serene rear garden. The heart of the home is an impressive dual-aspect kitchen/diner that showcases period charm alongside modern amenities, including an oil-fired Aga and ample cabinetry. There’s also unique potential to convert an original understairs cupboard into a lovely walk-in pantry.
Further along, discover a snug complete with another open fireplace, leading to a boot room replete with storage options and direct access to both utility facilities and a shower room. The first-floor landing offers stunning vistas and room for potential study space or could be reinstated as a fourth bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from rural views and has access to an adjoining loft area ripe for transformation into an en-suite bathroom.
Outside, attractive gardens surround the home, highlighted by well-maintained lawns and mature flower beds. A long gated driveway leads to additional parking at the rear of the property which features stunning countryside views from its generous lawned garden. The substantial outbuilding adds considerable versatility; it can be utilized as storage or considered for conversion into workshop space or additional accommodation subject to planning permissions—and it includes notable features such as timber stables.
Please note that while enhancing this property could yield significant value improvements, prospective buyers should be aware of particular considerations related to renovation needs such as asbestos removal in the Nissen Hut.
