Find Out A Little More .... - Built in 1998, 9 Pasture Lane has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically updated over the years. Recently, the property has benefited from a series of quality upgrades including an en suite bathroom by Bluewater of York, bespoke made-to-measure wardrobes by Hovingham Interiors, the installation of an air-source heat pump and pressurised water tank and upgraded electrics including an electric car charging point.

A central porch, illuminated by side windows, opens into a welcoming hallway with an understairs cupboard and cloakroom/wc, flanked by two generous 22-ft reception rooms. The sitting room is a superb triple-aspect living space featuring a Stovax wood-burning stove with stone mantel and granite hearth. The open-plan, dual aspect kitchen/dining room enjoys views across the garden towards open countryside and offers ample space for a family-sized dining table. Along with granite work surfaces, recessed spotlights and LVT herringbone flooring, it features soft-close Shaker-style cabinetry designed to accommodate an American-style fridge-freezer, integrated appliances and a pull-out larder. The kitchen leads into the rear hall/boot room giving access to the rear door into the garden.


The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms and a house bathroom, all filled with natural light and good ceiling heights, along with a useful storage cupboard with shelving. The principal bedroom suite includes both a fitted dressing area and a fully tiled en suite bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower.

Planning consent was granted in 2022 (ref. 22/00802/HOUSE) allowing for the conversion of the garage to form additional living space if required.

Outside - The house is set back from the lane behind a generous lawned area and pretty borders, with a gravelled drive providing parking for up to four vehicles.
