Occupying an enviable position in the sought-after village of Bishop Wilton - nestled at the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds and widely regarded as one of the region’s most picturesque settings - the property has been thoughtfully orientated to maximise its idyllic rural surroundings and southerly aspect. The principal rooms enjoy far-reaching views across open countryside.

Find Out A Little More... - Woldside is a bespoke build finished with high quality materials and designed with energy efficiency in mind. It is powered by solar PV panels and an air source heat pump alongside a MVHR ventilation system and underfloor heating. The effortless flow of the ground floor accommodation is enhanced by limestone tiles that continue through the open plan kitchen/living/dining room to the wraparound outdoor terrace via glazed doors.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, flooded with natural light from three aspects. Two sets of full-height sliding doors open onto the terrace, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection, perfect for modern living and complemented by integrated ceiling speakers. Limestone flooring flows throughout the ground floor, enhancing the sense of continuity and extending out to the wraparound terrace via expansive glazing. The living area is thoughtfully arranged around a contemporary media wall with a linear electric fire, creating a stylish focal point.

The bespoke kitchen features a central island with a waterfall quartz worktop and induction hob with downdraft extractor. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated AEG appliances - an oven, combination microwave with warming drawer, wine fridge, coffee machine, fridge/freezer and dishwasher - with extensive storage options that include a built-in window seat with storage below. A separate utility/storage room offers external access.

A separate snug provides a cosy retreat, ideal as a secondary reception room, but also offers flexibility to be used as a ground floor bedroom, conveniently served by the adjacent shower room.

The hallway features a steel floating staircase with solid beech treads and glass balustrade illuminated by a half-landing window and rising to the first floor. The principal bedroom suite is a dramatic space with full-height glazing to two sides and doors opening onto a private wraparound balcony - perfectly positioned to enjoy the far-reaching country views. It is complemented by a fully fitted walk-in dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower and vanity unit.

This beautiful village is characterised by houses lining either side of the deep grassy banks of a shallow beck spanned by several small bridges. It has many amenities including a primary school, a community shop with café, The Fleece Inn public house and a Grade I listed medieval church. In 2024, Bishop Wilton was named one of the UK’s “best secret villages” by The Times.

The surrounding landscape rises dramatically to Bishop Wilton Wold and Garrowby Hill - an iconic Yorkshire viewpoint immortalised by David Hockney. The coast lies some 30 miles to the east, and the cities of York and Hull are both very accessible. The thriving market town of Pocklington with its arts centre and eponymous independent school lies just ten minutes to the south.
