Ideally positioned for access to York’s outer ring road, York city centre and the popular market town of Easingwold, this delightful home offers an appealing balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.

Arranged over two floors, the flexible accommodation provides excellent scope for a variety of family living arrangements. The ground floor features two spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining areas, three substantial reception rooms and a separate study. One of the reception rooms centres around an attractive inglenook fireplace, creating a particularly characterful focal point. The study benefits from double doors opening into a snug area, providing a versatile space for relaxation or working from home. A utility room and guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, an open landing with a dedicated seating area leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom incorporating a separate shower cubicle.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway providing extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The house is set back from the main road behind a generous lawned front garden, complemented by mature trees and established planting that provides a degree of privacy.

The extensive, enclosed rear gardens provide an attractive setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. Predominantly laid to lawn, they feature a natural pond, a patio seating area and well-stocked flower beds. A private, Japanese-inspired side garden offers a particularly peaceful retreat, adding to the property's outdoor appeal.

A pathway leads to a useful stable block comprising two separate stables, a tack room and a hay store. Beyond, gated access opens onto an impressive one-acre paddock, complete with a central allotment area, offering excellent potential for equestrian pursuits, smallholding interests or those simply seeking additional outdoor space.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile country home, combining flexible family accommodation, generous gardens, equestrian facilities and a paddock, all within a well-regarded village setting and conveniently located for York and the surrounding area.

OFFER PROCEDURE

Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
