Description

A distinguished modern family home, impeccably finished throughout, featuring refined reception space and a beautiful landscaped garden within this sought-after market town.

This is a beautifully welcoming and impeccably presented family home, offering outstanding accommodation extending to approximately 2,309 sqft. Thoughtfully designed for modern family living, the property is set within a charming market town on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, with excellent accessibility to the amenities of Pocklington and York. From the rear of the first floor, uninterrupted views across the rolling Wolds create a striking and ever-changing backdrop.

Naturally light-filled throughout, the house provides exceptional space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Its position allows for easy access to unspoilt countryside, ideal for walking and outdoor pursuits, while the generous reception space and five-bedroom layout offer flexibility for families of varying sizes. The home has been enhanced with numerous upgrades, including deep skirtings throughout, reflecting the time, care and attention to detail invested to create an immaculate and refined living environment.

The entrance hall makes an immediate and impressive statement, with its generous proportions and welcoming atmosphere. Oak flooring flows seamlessly through the hall and into the principal reception rooms, reinforcing the sense of quality and cohesion. Double doors lead to both the sitting room and dining room / family room, enhancing the sociable nature of the layout. Each reception room benefits from two front aspect windows, allowing natural light to flood in. The sitting room enjoys open southerly views and features a striking electric fire with an attractive surround, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The dining room / family room, positioned opposite, offers excellent space for relaxed entertaining and family enjoyment.

At the heart of the home lies the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining area and family space, which runs the full width of the house. This versatile area has been designed to support modern living, with ample room for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining. Tiled flooring adds practicality, while two sets of glazed double doors open directly onto the landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen itself features a stylish range of grey gloss wall and base units topped with granite work surfaces, complemented by integrated appliances including a dishwasher, induction hob, oven and grill. An additional wall of shaker-style storage units in Ermine Cloud blue incorporates a full-height fridge and freezer, twin Neff ovens and generous storage, adding both functionality and visual interest. Beyond the kitchen units, the open-plan layout allows for distinct zones for dining and family seating, all enjoying views across the garden. This space forms the social hub of the home and is perfectly suited to both relaxed family time and larger gatherings, bathed in natural light throughout the day.

A well-appointed utility room sits off the kitchen, fitted with matching cabinetry, a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, an integrated wine cooler and access to the garden. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a WC with contemporary fittings and understairs storage.

The first floor continues the sense of space and light, with a galleried landing that enhances the feeling of volume. Five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged to make the most of the elevated outlook, with the rear rooms enjoying far-reaching views across open fields towards the Yorkshire Wolds. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a walk-in dressing room with full-height fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom featuring a separate rainfall shower, heated towel rail and period-style floor tiles. Bedrooms two and three are served by a Jack and Jill shower room, while bedrooms four and five share a stylish family bathroom with both bath and separate shower, finished with attractive herringbone-patterned tiling.

The property further benefits from double glazing throughout and an excellent EPC rating, ensuring comfort and efficiency. Presented in a neutral and inviting décor, the house is ready to be enjoyed immediately by a new owner.

Externally, the home is approached via a front pathway flanked by lawned areas, while the rear garden is a true highlight. Beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully arranged, it offers a rich mix of lawn, planting and colour, with a patio positioned perfectly outside the double doors to create an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A pathway leads through the garden to a double garage, completing this exceptional home. The garden mirrors the quality and attention to detail found within the house, providing a tranquil and elegant setting for family life.
