Additional Information

The house dates largely from the early 2000s and has been comprehensively refurbished and upgraded by the current owners over their seventeen-year tenure. It boasts an expansive and versatile layout, thoughtfully arranged over two levels to maximise both living and entertaining spaces. Fitted with solar panels, the property is energy efficient and comes with an EV charger linked to the PV solar system.

At the heart of the house is the kitchen dining room with its French doors and tall sidelights providing direct access south to the expansive paved terrace. The sleek modern kitchen is particularly well-appointed with high-quality fixtures and fittings including integrated appliances and an island unit. The Silestone worktop also forms a large dining table able to accommodate eight or more. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility/laundry room, offering practical storage and workspace.

The elegantly proportioned sitting room has a fireplace and tall windows with doors opening on to the garden terrace. A family room, also of generous proportions, and double aspect comes with built-in bookshelves and cupboards. The study is fully fitted with bespoke cabinetry and direct access to the garden. Off the hall is a garden room orientated south and west to provide a perfect spot for looking out over the sweeping lawn.

The central landing on the first floor gives access to five double bedrooms, all of which are filled with light and have high ceilings that rise into the roof space. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in scale and comes with bespoke cabinetry, a large en suite bathroom elegantly fitted with a double vanity unit, bath and shower. Four further double bedrooms are served by three contemporary bathrooms, all with high specification fittings and designed with a harmonised look and feel; the Jack and Jill bathroom serves bedroom 3 and 4, both of which have fitted wardrobes with sliding doors.

Outside

The long driveway, walled on one side, leads to a block-paved turning circle with ample options for parking and a double garage with electric doors, power, light and an EV charger. Adjacent is a secure storage room, also with power and light. The property has a garden shed and 16 solar panels to the south facing roof elevation.

The south facing gardens are enclosed behind wrought iron railings and two garden gates. They are well established and beautifully maintained, predominantly laid to lawn with borders and beds, a small orchard and mature trees including a magnificent willow in the corner.

Environs

York city walls 1 mile, railway station 1.5 miles (less on foot), A1237/York ring road 1.5 miles

Shipton Road is one of York’s main arteries into the city centre meeting up with Bootham and the city walls; it thus provides a route into the historic city and to the ring road giving rapid access to Leeds and the A1M. From the house, it’s a short stroll to St Peter’s and Bootham schools, and York’s mainline railway station is a pleasant walk (about twenty minutes) or a short drive by car. Riverside walks lead into York and out to the open green spaces of Rawcliffe Bar Country Park with its Green Flag Award. On one side of the house lie the fourteen acres of Homestead Park with its floral displays and children’s playpark and on the other, York Sports club, host to cricket, rugby, squash and tennis. Clifton village with its independent shops and amenities is close by and Clifton Moor retail Park, Monks Cross and Vangarde Shopping Park are a short drive away.
