A substantial Edwardian family home on a very large, private plot in sought-after Wilberfoss. Foss House combines original Arts & Crafts character — carved staircase, stained-glass bay windows and high ceilings — with a contemporary rear extension housing a large open-plan kitchen and living area with bi-fold doors onto a patio. The plot includes generous lawns, mature screening, multiple seating areas and outbuildings including garage and workshop.
The house offers five bedrooms and flexible accommodation across two storeys, including a ground-floor bedroom/guest room, study, utility/boot room and multiple reception rooms. This layout will suit a growing family wanting village life with good access to York and local schools rated good. Parking is ample via a private gravel driveway with space for several cars.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the property uses oil-fired central heating and solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, so running and upgrade costs may be higher than modern-built homes. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Although the house is well-presented, there remains scope for internal modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements for buyers wanting lower ongoing costs or further value uplift.
