York House is a substantial six-bedroom detached home arranged over three floors, offering over 5,300 sq ft of recently renovated living space on a very large, private plot. The layout suits a large family or multi-generational household with generous reception rooms, a studio with vaulted ceiling and terrace, plus a versatile open-plan kitchen and orangery for entertaining. Practical features include a double garage, extensive driveway parking, EV charging, and well-maintained formal and stone-flagged garden areas with mature trees and a private wooded glade.
The property was comprehensively rebuilt and finished in 2017 and benefits from modern comforts: Continental wet underfloor heating across three floors, double glazing, integrated security (CCTV and alarm), quality oak fixtures and a fitted utility room. The house presents as turnkey and has been newly renovated throughout, making it ready for immediate occupation by buyers seeking space and specification without major internal works.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: broadband speeds are slow, the wider area is classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The building’s solid brick construction is listed as having no assumed cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and could require retrofit insulation work. These are important practical considerations alongside the home’s many strengths.
