Moorlands Road, Skelton, York

Occupying an enviable third of an acre plot, this substantially extended semi-detached home has been renovated to an exceptional standard to accommodate modern family living, and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Set back from the road behind double gates and generous driveway parking, this substantial and thoughtfully extended home offers over 1,800 sq ft of beautifully arranged living space, complemented by a superb south-facing garden and a separate annexe.

The true centrepiece of the house is the remarkable open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting space; an area that immediately sets this home apart. Cleverly extended and reconfigured, it delivers an exceptional sense of volume and light, with vaulted ceilings, skylights and expansive glazing drawing the outside in. The bespoke kitchen is finished with elegant marble worktops, a pantry cupboard and breakfast bar, flowing effortlessly into a generous dining area and striking living space beyond. A log-burning stove and solid wood flooring add warmth and texture, balancing the scale of the room with a feeling of comfort. It is a space designed not just for cooking and dining, but for gathering, relaxing and everyday family life.

From the central hallway are three well-proportioned ground floor bedrooms, served by a stylish family bathroom. A large utility and drying room provides excellent practicality, complete with its own side access and staircase leading to the first floor.

Upstairs, the principal suite has been specifically designed with hotel comfort and luxury in mind. Beautifully arranged, it incorporates a dressing room and an open-plan en-suite with freestanding bath and separate shower, creating a calm and indulgent retreat. Glazed doors open onto a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden.

The separate garden annexe adds another layer of flexibility, incorporating a bedroom with en-suite and a dedicated home office. Whether for guests, multi-generational living or working from home, it provides valuable independent space without compromising the main house.

Externally, the south-facing garden is a standout feature. A generous patio leads onto an expansive lawn with mature planting, established boundaries and a wonderful sense of privacy. It is a garden that feels both peaceful and substantial, ideal for entertaining, children’s play or simply enjoying the open outlook.
