This extended five-bedroom semi-detached house on Stockton Lane offers flexible family living across three floors with a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room as the social heart. The living room has a wide box bay and a traditional cast-iron fireplace; the second-floor double bedroom enjoys rooftop views towards York Minster. Off-street parking, a garage/workshop with loft storage and a tidy lawned garden with sunny patio give practical outdoor space and storage for family needs.
The layout suits families seeking adaptable bedrooms (three doubles plus two singles) and ground-floor convenience, including an under-stairs shower room and utility provision in the garage. Built c.1930–49, the house benefits from cavity walls (filled), mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). Chain-free sale and affordable council tax add financial ease for buyers.
Buyers should note this is a modest-footprint property for five bedrooms: some bedrooms are single or best used as a home office or hobby room. The house appears well presented but, as with many older homes, may need updating to personal taste and to check double-glazing and any services' ages. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and any modernization required.
Positioned for easy access to York city centre, Monks Cross retail and the A64, the location supports school choices and commuting. Overall this is a practical, characterful family home offering immediate move-in potential with scope to improve and personalise over time.
