A thoughtfully designed detached house arranged over three floors, this versatile home sits in the sought-after village of Heslington, a short walk from the University of York and ten minutes from York city centre. The principal living space on the first floor enjoys abundant natural light, a coal-effect gas fire set in an exposed brick chimney breast, and wooden doors that open into an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area with quartz worktops and integrated NEFF appliances. The property is offered chain free.
The ground floor provides substantial adaptable accommodation: large utility, shower room, sauna, home gym and conservatory, formerly used as a self-contained one-bedroom area — ideal for multi-generational use, home working, or conversion into independent living. An oak paddle staircase leads to two attic rooms under the eaves, one previously an art studio. Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms across the upper floors give comfortable family proportions.
Outside, the house sits on a large plot with a beautifully landscaped rear garden, mature planting and a stone-flagged courtyard for outdoor dining. Practical benefits include a substantial integral garage (space for two cars), driveway parking, mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, double glazing and modern construction (post-2012). The home presents reconfiguration and improvement potential to suit changing needs.
Important practical notes: the property sits in a neighbourhood with a strong student presence and recorded higher local crime levels — factors to consider for long-term owners or lettings. Some internal areas (ground floor layout and attic rooms) may require modification or refurbishment to suit your exact use. No significant flood risk is recorded and tenure is freehold.
