This attractive four-bedroom detached home blends genuine period character with practical family living. Built in 1841 and extended in 2007, the main house retains Georgian symmetry and original sash windows, while a Grade II listed 17th-century sitting room offers unique historical interest. The ground floor layout includes two reception rooms and a kitchen with pantry and breakfast area, giving flexible living space for everyday family life.
The property sits on a small, low-maintenance plot with a side garden that catches the morning sun, plus a useful brick outbuilding for storage. The home is well located for village amenities, good primary schools and an outstanding secondary school nearby. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working and family connectivity, and the location benefits from very low crime and easy road links to York and Selby.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the house is freehold but has listed status that will restrict alterations and can complicate works. External walls are original solid brick with no built-in insulation (assumed), heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the current EPC is E. These factors may mean improvement work, insulation upgrades, or ongoing oil costs are needed to reach modern energy standards.
Overall this is a characterful family home for buyers who value period detail and village life, and who are prepared to manage listed-property constraints and upgrade energy performance over time.
