The Poplars – A Substantial & Characterful Family Residence

Welcome to The Poplars, an impressive and much-loved family home. Occupying a generous and private plot, this substantial property offers over 2,000 sq ft of beautifully maintained living space, blending original period charm with thoughtful modern enhancements.

This exceptionally spacious five-bedroom home stands proudly on the sought-after Heworth area on Malton Road, offering unrivalled access to York city centre, the outer ring road, and the vibrant Vanguard Shopping Park—just a short 15-minute walk away. The location also benefits from excellent local transport links, is just moments from The Stray, and is close to a highly regarded nursery. It also falls within the catchment area of some of York’s top primary and secondary schools, making it an ideal setting for family life.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is immediately apparent. The wide and welcoming entrance hall leads to two principal reception rooms: a stylish front-facing living room with a feature fireplace and bespoke double-glazed sash windows, and a separate dining room that flows into the large kitchen.

The bright and expansive kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with a range of wall and base units and ample dining space. Contemporary floor tiles with electric underfloor heating complement the characterful exposed ceiling beams, creating a blend of old and new.

What truly sets this home apart is the versatile extended living area beyond the kitchen—ideal for multigenerational living. This space includes a cosy sitting room opening onto the garden, a modern shower room, and a generous double bedroom, offering a self-contained area perfect for guests, older relatives, or independent teenagers.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom, complete with a four-piece suite and a stunning freestanding bath. A second staircase leads to the loft conversion, providing a fifth double bedroom with a Velux roof light—ideal as a private guest suite, teenager’s retreat, or home office.

Outside, the generous and private rear garden is a tranquil haven, featuring mature fruit trees, a spacious lawn, and a patio seating area for summer entertaining. A large double garage with electric door and secure gated driveway adds further appeal, with ample off-street parking available at the front.
The house is also fitted with solar panels offering a good return income.

In Summary:
The Poplars is a substantially sized period home that is as unique as it is spacious. With its versatile layout, over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, and a fantastic location, it offers an exceptional opportunity for growing families or those seeking flexible, character-filled living.

After 45 wonderful years, the current owner is now moving only due to downsizing—a testament to how well this home has served as a spacious, comfortable, and much-loved family residence.
