Orchard House is a substantial Georgian family home set in about 0.5 acres in the heart of Skelton, just north of York. The main house, sympathetically renovated and presented in good decorative order, combines high ceilings and sash windows with modern updates including a triple‑glazed garden room, gas central heating and good broadband. The property sits in a Conservation Area but is not listed.
The plot includes a separate two‑bedroom cottage, a snooker/games room, double and single garages and a range of traditional outbuildings. These buildings are secure, powered and offer flexible uses — from garaging and workshops to potential further development subject to planning. The L‑shaped rear garden faces south and west and is private and extensively planted, offering room for family life and gardening.
Practical points to note: the main house’s EPC rating is E and the house’s solid brick construction appears to have no historic cavity insulation specified. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal and local crime levels are average. For families the location is strong — close to Skelton Primary and within convenient reach of top independent schools in York, main road links and rail services.
This home will suit families seeking substantial living and ancillary accommodation in a well‑connected village setting, buyers wanting in‑law or rental annexe potential, or those looking for a property with further outbuilding development potential. The combination of formal reception space, separate cottage and extensive grounds gives genuine scope to adapt the estate to modern family needs.
