The Balk, Slingsby, YO62

Willowgreen are delighted to present The Lodge, a beautifully renovated and extended detached bungalow set within an impressive quarter-acre plot in the highly sought-after village of Slingsby. Dating from the 1950s and transformed over the last two years, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvements including full re-wiring, re-plumbing, new windows and doors, a new roof, high-quality landscaping and stylish cosmetic upgrades throughout. Planning consent is also in place for a future conservatory addition to the kitchen extension.

A welcoming entrance lobby leads into the heart of the home: a stunning triple-aspect open-plan dining kitchen illuminated by a large lantern roof light. This beautifully designed space features a range of contemporary cabinetry with solid oak worktops, a ceramic sink, an island with quartz worktop and breakfast bar, and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Full-length feature windows enhance the natural light, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining.

The sitting room offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere, complete with an Esse wood-burning stove set on a stone hearth within a brick recess, complemented by stripped floorboards and a charming bay window.

A generous boot room provides excellent practicality, fitted with additional storage units, a stainless-steel sink, space for laundry appliances, two useful cupboards including one housing the pressurised hot water cylinder, and external access to the rear garden.

An inner hall connects the accommodation and includes loft access and further built-in storage.

The master bedroom is positioned to the rear and includes a fitted wardrobe, while the adjoining en-suite bathroom features a modern white suite with vanity storage, fully tiled finishes, recessed, lighting and a heated towel rail. Two further bedrooms, one to the front with a fitted wardrobe, and a smaller third bedroom, provide flexible space for guests, children or home working.

A stylish shower room offers a modern double shower and vanity basin with fully tiled walls and a heated towel rail, complemented by a separate WC with a wash basin and half-tiled walls.

Occupying a gently elevated position, The Lodge sits within an impressive 0.25-acre plot offering exceptional outside space. A long driveway runs to the side of the property, leading to a gravelled parking area suitable for multiple vehicles. The extensive front and rear gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with a stone-flagged terrace for outdoor dining, raised vegetable beds and a range of mature shrubs and specimen trees. A newly erected timber garden shed and a charming summerhouse, which is currently used as a gym, are included in the sale. In the agent’s opinion, the property offers further potential for extension, subject to the necessary consents.
