Stonegate, Whixley, York

Tanyard House is a stunning period home that has been meticulously renovated throughout by the current owners and now offers stylish family accommodation with an attached but self contained 2 bed annexe, plus a detached 2 bed cottage within the grounds.

The accommodation within the main house is arranged over two floors, plus a small cellar, and briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens, utility room with guest w/c off, large home study/snug, light filled sitting room with stairs to the upper floor, and a cosy living room with wood burning stove and curved bay window. Completing the excellent ground floor is an impressive open plan dining kitchen space with bespoke shaker style cabinetry, granite work surfaces, breakfast bar seating, and a separate dining area with bi folding doors out to a large sun terrace in the rear garden.

Upstairs a central landing leads to a superb principal bedroom with distant views, en suite bathroom and separate dressing room, three further good-sized bedrooms - one with its own en suite shower room, and a luxurious house bathroom.

Tanyard House benefits from two additional properties within its grounds, an attached annexe and a detached cottage.

The Annexe
Attached to the main house but completely self-contained, is a two-storey annexe offering superb ‘upside down’ accommodation comprising a entrance hall with fitted storage, two good sized bedrooms and a shower room at ground floor level. Upstairs is an open plan living space with a vaulted ceiling, fitted kitchen with dining area, and a sitting area with views and direct access to a private roof terrace. This excellent annexe could easily be integrated into the main house - there is live planning permission in place to do this with the creation of a glazed walkway.

The Cottage
Forming one boundary of the gardens is a delightful two storey cottage. This detached property is finished to the same high standard as the main house and annexe and offers an open plan ground floor living space with fitted kitchen, storage, and a dining/sitting room with wood burning stove and French doors out to an enclosed private courtyard. Upstairs two double bedrooms are serviced by a luxurious bathroom and separate w/c.

Outside
Tanyard House occupies an idyllic position on the edge of the village with views over the adjacent Whixley Park. The walled and fully enclosed plot is accessed via electrically operated double gates revealing a block paved driveway/courtyard offering parking for several vehicles in front of a trio of useful outdoor stores. There are two lawned areas of garden, one raised and surrounded by planted flower beds, the other with paved sun terracing to two sides. This delightful versatile outdoor space enjoys a high degree of privacy and is the ideal place for children to play, entertaining guests, enjoying the sun and alfresco dining.
