Located on sought-after Drome Road, this deceptively spacious detached home offers over 1,700 sq ft of flexible family living in Copmanthorpe. The ground floor provides three generous reception rooms, a practical kitchen, a useful boot area and a convenient ground-floor shower room — ideal for busy family life and entertaining. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and loft storage accessed by a ladder.
The property sits on a very large plot with mature lawned gardens, a raised deck and an additional strip of land at the rear suitable for a shed or storage. Driveway parking for two cars sits to the front; the gravelled lane to the side is a pedestrian right of way and belongs to the neighbouring plot, not for vehicular use. The location delivers easy access into York, good schools nearby and quick routes to the A64 and A1(M).
The house has been in the same ownership for over 25 years and offers excellent scope to personalise and update. Practical points to note: the EPC is rated D, the cavity walls are as-built with assumed no insulation, and the property will benefit from modernisation throughout. Council tax is high. Sold with no onward chain, it’s a strong proposition for families seeking space, a large garden and the opportunity to add value.
