Description

For families seeking a beautifully finished home in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting, this standout village property has been thoughtfully transformed inside and out. Combining light-filled interiors, quality materials and a charming garden, it’s a home to be proud of—with no onward chain. Arrange your viewing today.

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Holtby village, this thoughtfully modernised property offers a warm and welcoming space, carefully designed with family life in mind. Step inside to find a bright entrance hall leading to a stylish ground floor W.C and cloakroom. On the right, a versatile second reception room offers the flexibility of a snug, playroom or home office, while to the left the home opens up into a generous open-plan lounge and dining area. This L-shaped space is filled with natural light from the front windows and rear French doors, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.

The stunning kitchen flows seamlessly from the dining area and has been handcrafted to a high standard. Finished with durable Silestone quartz worktops, it includes two integrated ovens, a hob, a dishwasher, and a practical breakfast bar—ideal for quick meals or casual socialising. The central island houses a sink with mixer tap and built-in recycling store, and there is ample cupboard and shelving space throughout. A rear door offers direct access to the back garden, while the French doors from the dining space allow for an easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle during warmer months.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including a comfortable master with en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms offer ideal spaces for children, guests or flexible use, such as a study or hobby room. The family bathroom is finished with contemporary fittings, including a rainfall shower built directly into the ceiling for a clean, spa-style feel. Throughout the home, decor has been thoughtfully updated, with new carpets and tasteful finishes that bring a sense of calm and consistency to each room.

Touches of traditional charm remain, blending comfortably with the modern upgrades. Cottage-style internal wooden doors with feature hinges and handles sit alongside more recent additions such as the efficient wood-burning stove in the lounge, offering both warmth and character. The overall result is a home that feels both timeless and up to date.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A generous driveway leads to a double garage fitted with attractive barn-style doors. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by a low wall and mature hedging, providing privacy without blocking out light. What were once vegetable planters have been thoughtfully converted into raised ornamental beds, adding colour and structure to the approach.

The rear garden offers a peaceful and private space with several key features designed to enjoy the outdoors. In addition to the main patio accessed via the dining room, a second patio seating area has been created—ideal for following the sun or finding shade as needed throughout the day. Increased planting adds softness and interest, with a variety of established trees and shrubs offering texture and year-round colour. A gravelled path leads to the well that gives the cottage its name, with more raised ornamental beds to the side adding further charm. For families or garden lovers seeking a good-sized, manageable garden with real character, this space ticks all the right boxes.

Located in the desirable village of Holtby, this home offers the ideal balance between rural tranquillity and city convenience. Just five miles east of York, the village enjoys easy access to the A1079 and A64, making commutes to York, Leeds or further afield simple. The wider road network connects easily with the A1(M), opening up access to national travel routes.

The nearby Vangarde Shopping Centre and Monks Cross Retail Park provide a wealth of high street stores, supermarkets, cafés and leisure options, all just a short drive away. Families will appreciate the well-regarded schools in the surrounding area, with primary and secondary options available locally. The village itself is friendly and historic, with its own Grade II listed church, Holy Trinity, offering a sense of community and heritage. Just over a mile away, the neighbouring village of Dunnington adds further day-to-day convenience with a post office, general store, bakery, doctors’ surgery and more.

In all, this is a rare opportunity to secure a fully renovated, freehold family home with double garage, private garden, quality finishes and a cul-de-sac location—perfect for buyers looking for peace, practicality and charm, all without an onward chain.
