Melbourne, York, YO42

Welcome to White Lodge, a stunning, beautifully maintained and upgraded detached house with spectacular views of open fields to both the front and rear.

Accessed via a five-bar wooden gate and large gravelled driveway, this eye-catching property is beautifully rendered with a slate roof, sash windows and has the benefit of an additional garden room, one of only three such house designs in a small luxurious new build development built in 2020. With planning permission granted for the addition of an Oak porch.

Situated in Melbourne, a popular, peaceful rural village on the eastern outskirts of the City of York, White Lodge offers generous, light, and airy living space.

An inviting oak laminated hallway, with cloakroom/WC, and two storage cupboards, leads to a spacious and comfortable carpeted lounge overlooking fields to the front, with plantation shutters to all windows.

Continuing from the hallway to the rear of the property is an exquisite open plan living space that is flooded with natural light from the glass atrium and bi-fold windows and doors. This area offers a stylish and high specification kitchen with a large kitchen island/breakfast bar, NEFF appliances, a double butler sink with extendable mixer tap, and quartz worktops. This attractive space has been thoughtfully decorated to complement the exceptional external views of a large garden, additionally acquired paddock area and open fields, that can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining, or garden room areas.

Additionally, to the ground floor off the kitchen is a separate utility room with matching units, sink, provision for washer/dryer and courtesy door to side.

The patio is accessed via bi-fold doors from the garden or dining area, which can be thrown open to enjoy the south facing garden and enhance the ease of al fresco living, perfect for entertaining and family life. This particularly wide plot offers additional space to the side of the house, which is currently used as a gravelled play area. The bifold doors have individually integrated blinds on all doors, and the large windows of the garden room have the addition of electric blinds.

Upstairs are four large double bedrooms all of which have views of fields, plantation shutters and luxury wool carpets. The spacious principal bedroom has an attractive tiled ensuite bathroom with an LED anti fog mirror and large rain shower. The main bathroom has an equally stylish suite and mirror, with a separate bath and shower cubicle.

Externally, in addition to the superb views, front and rear garden, paddock, and large gravelled driveway, the property has a large double garage to the front with roller doors. The well maintained lawned garden and paddock area have the addition of carefully selected trees and shrubs. The current vendors have also installed full fibre broadband to the property.
