Highfield is a rare, 1930s detached family home set on a generous, tree-lined plot at the edge of Heslington. The house blends original Tudor/Arts & Crafts details — timber panelling, stained glass and a feature staircase — with a thoughtfully updated interior that includes a bespoke open-plan kitchen/dining room and a bright garden room. The principal suite occupies the east side of the first floor and benefits from an en-suite shower room and private balcony overlooking the mature gardens.
The ground floor offers extensive family living space: two entrance halls, three reception rooms, a home office, separate utility and cloakroom, plus useful storage including a pantry and linen cupboard. Externally there are two parking areas and a large double garage, making family parking and storage straightforward. The garden is a particular strength, with lawns, established borders and multiple seating areas for privacy and entertaining.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold with mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The home sits in a very affluent neighbourhood close to Heslington village, York University and the city centre, but local crime levels are above average — something to weigh alongside the excellent schools and convenient transport links.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family house of circa 2,584 sq ft that will suit buyers seeking a spacious period home with private gardens, versatile reception space and strong local amenities. Some buyers may wish to update cosmetic elements or modernise services over time, but the property is presented as a largely modernised and adaptable family residence.
