Flat 3, Dower House, Escrick

RL0918 - Set within an impressive mid-19th century building, this beautifully presented period maisonette offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the charm and proportions of a grand country home, combined with the practicality of modern living.

Extending to nearly 1,600 sq ft, the accommodation is notably larger than many four-bedroom detached houses, arranged over multiple floors and designed to provide both flexibility and flow. From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and character is immediately apparent, with high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and large sliding sash windows with traditional shutters allowing natural light to flood through the home.

The ground floor offers a versatile reception room, ideal as a snug, home office, or potential fourth bedroom, alongside a useful cloakroom/WC. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — a beautifully proportioned room perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. A substantial cellar provides excellent additional storage.

Externally, French doors open onto a south-facing paved terrace area, which enjoys a tucked-away position and a sense of privacy, while the wider communal grounds are immaculately maintained, offering lawns, mature trees and established planting — all without the burden of personal upkeep.

The property also benefits from allocated parking, visitor spaces, and a private entrance.

Located in the highly regarded village of Escrick, just over six miles from York city centre, the property offers an ideal balance of rural surroundings and convenient access. The village itself provides a range of amenities including a doctor’s surgery, convenience store, tennis club, and popular dining spots such as The Fat Abbot and The Parsonage. It also falls within the catchment for well-regarded schools, including Escrick Primary and Fulford School.

This is a home that combines character, space and lifestyle in a way that is rarely available — ideal for those seeking period charm without the demands of a large country house.
