Set on an exceptional plot with rear gardens approaching 100m, this six-bedroom period semi-detached cottage blends original character with useful contemporary upgrades. The property offers generous family accommodation across three floors, including a large open-plan breakfast kitchen, separate reception rooms and a master bedroom suite. Mature, expertly landscaped gardens provide privacy, multiple lawned areas, orchard and fruit garden — rare for this location.
Practical benefits include an integral single garage, substantial driveway parking, mains gas central heating and fast broadband (up to 1000 Mbps). The layout already works well for multigenerational or home-working households, with a separate study and two loft-conversion bedrooms. The house is presented with many retained period features such as cast-iron fireplaces, wood panelling and original joinery that enhance its character.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has an EPC band D and solid brick walls (insulation date unknown), so future thermal upgrading may be desirable. There are no current planning permissions for extension, and council tax is high. While the house is well maintained, it offers clear scope for further modernisation or expansion to suit changing needs.
This is a strong opportunity for families seeking space, character and extensive private gardens close to York city amenities, good schools and the outer ring road. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the size of the plot and the potential on offer.
