Lilac Avenue, York, YO10 3AS

This flexible home is ideal for families seeking room to grow, as well as those needing a self-contained workspace or income-generating annexe. With generous indoor and outdoor living space plus excellent potential for extended family or rental use, this one is not to be missed.

Perfectly suited to family life, this traditionally styled property offers a well-balanced mix of character and convenience, with generous living space, multiple reception areas, and four versatile bedrooms. The front-facing living room is a warm and welcoming space, with a broad bay window drawing in natural light and offering a peaceful spot for everyday relaxing or entertaining. Moving to the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining area creates a natural hub for family life, with room for a large table, modern appliances, and a freestanding cooker with extractor. This space flows directly into the garden room, offering an easy link to the outdoors via patio doors that open onto a tidy lawned garden. A downstairs WC provides added everyday practicality.

Upstairs, the home continues to offer flexible family accommodation. The spacious main bedroom includes an extended dressing area, ideal for additional wardrobes or a cot space. A second double bedroom also enjoys a bay window and a light, airy feel. Two further single rooms provide options for children’s bedrooms, a nursery, or a home office, with one of them benefitting from its own en-suite shower room, perfect for a teen, guest, or live-in relative. A well-kept family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Above, the loft space is fully boarded and fitted with electricity, offering great storage and further scope if future conversion is ever desired.

The outside space supports flexible living, especially for families or those needing space to work or host visitors. The rear garden features a neat lawn and patio, while a lean-to glazed garden room adds a sheltered retreat or additional play area. The standout feature, however, is the large log cabin at the rear. Thoughtfully finished and equipped with its own kitchen, shower room, and sitting area, it provides self-contained accommodation for guests, a home office, studio, or potential rental income. This kind of flexible, private space is particularly valuable for extended family living or those working from home. There’s also a brick-built store for garden equipment or bikes, and off-street parking to the front via a private drive ensures easy day-to-day access.

Set within a well-regarded residential area to the southeast of York, the property enjoys excellent access to local amenities, green space, and schooling. It’s within walking distance of the University of York, making it a great option for academic families, student landlords, or university staff. Several primary and secondary schools are also within reach, along with everyday shops, takeaways, and services in the nearby local parade. For those commuting or needing access to the city centre, regular bus routes run nearby, and the A64 is just a short drive away, offering easy links across the region. The balance of calm residential setting with strong transport links and education access makes this home particularly appealing for families wanting space and convenience.
