Renovated rural home with large gardens, workshop and flexible family space.
Four double bedrooms including two ensuite suites
A striking detached farmhouse-style home in Gate Helmsley, recently extended and comprehensively modernised. The house combines reclaimed-period materials and contemporary fittings across very large rooms, creating flexible family living with four double bedrooms, two ensuites and a generous family bathroom. The new extension provides a bright third reception/dining room with full-height sliding glass and underfloor heating, while two living rooms retain cosy character with log-burning stoves.
The property sits around a central, lawned courtyard garden with L-shaped landscaped beds, two patios and a garage/workshop. Parking is ample on the driveway. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating with a new boiler and double glazing installed after 2002; broadband and mobile signal are excellent for a rural location.
Notable points to consider: the EPC is graded D and council tax is described as expensive. Although recently renovated, the house occupies a remoter village setting (about 7 miles east of York), so buyers seeking town living should note the rural location. Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home offering a combination of period detail and modern, low-maintenance living for those wanting countryside proximity to York.
