Burnlea, Shiptonthorpe

RL0918 -  From the outside, Burnlea may look like a charming traditional cottage — but step inside and you’ll quickly discover a home that offers far more space than first meets the eye.

Situated within the popular village of Shiptonthorpe, this deceptively spacious property provides nearly 1,280 square feet of well-proportioned living accommodation, combining character features with practical modern living.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a cosy lounge centred around a feature fireplace with exposed brick, creating the perfect focal point for the room. An archway leads through to the separate dining room, ideal for family meals or entertaining.

To the rear of the property lies the true heart of the home — an impressive 23ft kitchen and breakfast room fitted with a range of units, solid wood work surfaces, range-style cooker, integrated appliances, tiled flooring and recessed lighting. This generous space works beautifully for everyday living and social gatherings alike.

Complementing the kitchen is a large utility room, almost the size of some kitchens, offering excellent storage and practicality, alongside a convenient ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs the property continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering excellent space. The principal bedroom retains its original cast iron fireplace, adding a lovely touch of character, while the modern four-piece family bathroom includes both a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Externally the property enjoys a private enclosed rear garden, described by the current owners as a real sun trap, with seating areas perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing.

To the rear of the property there is gated parking and a detached garage with power, lighting and useful loft storage above, offering potential for a workshop, hobby space or home office.

Shiptonthorpe itself is a friendly and well-connected village, offering a fuel station with shop, garden centre café and farm shop, alongside easy access to Market Weighton, Pocklington, Beverley and York. The surrounding area also provides excellent countryside walks towards Londesborough and the Yorkshire Wolds.

Offering generous living space, character charm and fantastic value for the size, Burnlea represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious village home.
