Green Acre is a substantial single-storey family home set on just under one-third of an acre in peaceful Islebeck, with long open views to the Hambleton Hills and the White Horse of Kilburn. Extended to around 2,000 sq ft, the bungalow offers generous, flexible accommodation all on one level — four double bedrooms, a principal suite with en-suite, a bright living room with fireplace and French doors, a conservatory and a large dining-kitchen fitted with Bosch and Miele appliances. The boarded, insulated loft adds useful storage or potential conversion subject to consent.
The plot is a key asset: well-established, mainly organic gardens maintained for nearly forty years, lawns front and rear, a wildlife-friendly corner and mature trees providing strong privacy. Parking and outbuildings are extensive — a purpose-built double garage attached to the house, a second double garage at the end of the drive plus a third garage/workshop give rare storage and parking capacity for several vehicles. An advanced security system is already installed for peace of mind.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators; sewage is handled by a Solido smart treatment system; the property is freehold. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and there is no electric car charger installed. Council tax is described as expensive. The house dates from the 1930–49 period and, while well maintained and extended, will show elements consistent with an older property — buyers should expect typical maintenance and upgrade items over time.
This bungalow will suit buyers seeking single-floor living with generous rooms and a large private plot — families, downsizers wanting space without stairs, or those wanting a rural base with good road links to the A19 and A1(M). The combination of size, garden and garaging offers scope for home working, hobby space or simple lifestyle change in an affluent, low-crime village setting.
