Summary - BARN COTTAGE PROSPECT FARM CLOSE MELBOURNE YORK YO42 4AD
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious versatile three-bedroom home close to York and Pocklington.
Detached three-bedroom house with versatile ground-floor reception room
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Melbourne, this flexible three-bedroom detached house offers generous, light-filled living across about 1,791 sq ft. The heart of the home is a country-style kitchen with dining area, a vaulted garden room with exposed beams, and multiple reception spaces ideal for family life and entertaining. The enclosed south- and west-facing garden and pergola provide private outdoor space that is low maintenance. A garage and private driveway provide convenient parking.
The layout is particularly adaptable: a ground-floor sitting/family room with woodburning stove and garden access could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office, while two double bedrooms upstairs offer built-in storage and share a modern shower room. Practical features include double glazing throughout, oil-fired boiler and radiators, utility room and an EPC Band A rating.
Important points to note: heating runs on oil (individual supply), the plot is relatively small though well landscaped, and mobile signal is average. Broadband speeds are fast and the area is affluent with low crime, making this a comfortable village base with easy road access to Pocklington and York. The property is freehold and constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s with timber-frame walls and added insulation.
This home will suit families seeking roomy, characterful accommodation in a peaceful village setting, with good local schools and canal-side walks on the doorstep. While tasteful and move-in ready, buyers wanting a larger plot or alternative heating fuel should factor those preferences into their decision.
