Summary - 145, Main Road, Drax YO8 8NJ
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Extended detached house with large garden, home office and gym — ideal for family life.
0.75 acre plot with paddock and generous lawns
Set well back from Main Road in the village of Drax, this substantial detached family home occupies 0.75 acre of gardens and paddock, offering wide, private outdoor space for children and pets. The house was extended and modernised by the current owners from 2019–2022 to create an open-plan ground floor centred on a fitted kitchen and garden room with bi-fold doors that connect living space to the terrace and lawns.
On the ground floor the layout flows between a well-proportioned sitting room, dining room and the open-plan kitchen/garden room. Practical rooms include a separate utility and cloakroom, plus a dedicated home office that suits hybrid working or can be used as a playroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms — three have en suites and built-in wardrobes — and an elegant family bathroom.
The detached double garage has been partly converted into a home gym and an office/store area, offering flexible outbuilding space but reducing traditional vehicle storage. The property benefits from fast broadband and low local crime, making it convenient for family life. The grounds include high-quality porcelain terrace tiling, a brick barbecue under a timber pergola and paddock views to the rear.
Important practical points: heating is by oil-fired boiler (not a community system), the house is freehold, and council tax sits in Band E (above average). There are no current planning permissions in place should you wish to extend further. Some glazing is older double glazing installed before 2002, which may present future upgrade costs despite the recent renovations.
