Spacious rural family home with extensive grounds and flexible self-contained wing.
About 3,414 sq ft five-bedroom detached family house
Wayside Farm is a substantial detached family home set within about 6.77 acres, combining formal gardens, meadow and woodland roughly 3.5 miles north of York. The principal house extends to approximately 3,414 sq ft with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, plus a self-contained wing that suits multigenerational living or long-stay guests. A south/west-facing conservatory, dual-aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen give the main accommodation a comfortable, lived-in character.
The grounds and outbuildings are a defining feature: a five-box stable, workshop/studio, barn sections (one housing an above-ground heated pool), pole barn, greenhouses, garden pod and substantial storage buildings, together with a large car port. These spaces offer scope for equestrian use, small-scale hobby farming, workshops or conversion subject to planning, and create strong lifestyle appeal for buyers seeking privacy and outdoor space.
Practical points to consider: the property has timber-frame construction (assumed) and double glazing of unknown install date, with mains gas heating via boiler and radiators and an EPC rating of C. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The outbuildings and extensive grounds will require ongoing maintenance and some investment to update or adapt for alternative uses.
This home will suit families, those seeking a rural lifestyle close to York, or buyers looking for a property with flexible living arrangements and outbuilding potential. It presents a rare combination of space, privacy and versatile external accommodation, but buyers should budget for service and connectivity improvements and regular upkeep of mature grounds and multiple structures.
