An imposing EDWARDIAN VILLA retaining a multitude of original features, yet has been sympathetically updated with modern kitchens and bathrooms. The property is situated close to the village of Upper Poppleton, with easy access to York City Centre.

Tree Tops is an impressive Edwardian property, dating back to around 1903, located close to the charming village of Poppleton on the outskirts of York. Poppleton offers a wide range of amenities, including shops, pubs, a primary school, sports facilities, and a railway station on the Harrogate–York line. The location perfectly combines the tranquility of village life with the convenience of easy access to York city centre.

This elegant property showcases classic Edwardian architecture with its brick exterior, Westmoreland slate roof, dressed stone windowsills, brick-on-end lintels, and a deep modillioned eaves cornice. Inside, Tree Tops retains many original features, including sash windows, dado rails, architraves, panelled doors, picture rails, and ornate plasterwork cornices, along with several period fireplaces. This home, which occupies one half of a grand Edwardian villa, reflects the grandeur typical of large residences.

The property has recently benefited from significant upgrades, including a new kitchen, a complete rewire, and modernised plumbing, ensuring that it meets contemporary living standards while preserving its historic character. Although some areas might still require further decorating, the property offers a spacious and comfortable family home with generously sized rooms and timeless appeal.

Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a striking entrance hall with a period-patterned tiled floor, leading to the main reception rooms. The expansive living room features a wide bay window that overlooks the front garden, complemented by a moulded plasterwork cornice, a fireplace, and a picture rail. Next to this, the former Nursery now serves as a family room / dining room, featuring two large sash windows.

Blending modern living with its historic charm, the true hub of the home is the open-plan kitchen/diner, which has been given a contemporary twist. It features sleek wall and base units, integrated appliances, an island and is complemented by stylish worktops. This space offers ample room for both dining and living, all set against the backdrop of polished concrete flooring, creating a modern, functional space that serves as the heart of the home. Beyond is utility room, a pantry, store room and access to the rear garden.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase leading to a spacious landing and the principal bedroom, which includes a glazed door opening onto a balcony above the original entrance.
Three additional bedrooms, a house bathroom, and a shower room are also found on this level. The second floor includes two generous attic rooms with dormer windows and access to extensive eaves storage.

The property’s exterior includes a traditional, large double garage with wooden double doors. This garage has potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Set within mature grounds, Tree Tops is approached via a winding driveway that passes through a mature yew, sycamore, and beech trees, with a variety of plants.
The driveway continues to the double garage, behind the garage, is a lawn area with mature borders.
