Tucked Away, Yet Close to Everything!

In a secluded position at the end of a private drive shared with just one other property, this exceptional six-bedroom, 4 bathroom detached family home offers over 3,600 sq ft of luxurious accommodation arranged over three floors. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac within the highly sought-after conservation village of Heslington — just minutes from York city centre — this substantial property offers the perfect balance of tranquillity, space, and convenience.

Built in 1999 and thoughtfully modernised over the years to an exceptional standard, the home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. The interiors showcase a stunning bespoke kitchen with handcrafted oak units and quartz stone worktops, complemented by a full suite of quality integrated appliances including plumbed-in water filtration and a Bang & Olufsen sound system installed in the main living areas and principal bedrooms/en-suite. The expansive living space includes an entrance hall, contemporary cloakroom, dual-aspect reception rooms, an elegant sunroom and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility room - featuring two built-in washer/dryers and plenty of cupboards. Three reception rooms on the ground floor offer flexible options for family life or entertaining.

All six bedrooms are generously proportioned doubles, with one currently used as a stylish home office. The first floor features four double bedrooms - two with modern en-suites - and a beautifully appointed family bathroom with a corner Jacuzzi bath, sauna, steam/shower room and integrated television. The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms and a shower room — ideal for guests, older children or as hobby spaces. Underfloor heating in the kitchen, main bedroom en-suite and guest bedroom en-suite adds further comfort.

Outside, the south-facing walled, landscaped rear garden offers a high degree of privacy, with mature planting, multiple seating areas and a brick-built detached store complete with power and lighting. A block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and access to a large double garage with electric doors and internal access to the utility room. The front garden is equally well maintained and enhances the home’s overall curb appeal.

Set within the heart of Heslington village, renowned for its charming character and excellent local amenities, the property is perfectly positioned for families. Nearby facilities include a post office, village shop with bakery, a convenience store, two pubs, a playground, sports field and village hall. The University of York is 10 minutes' walk away, offering additional amenities including parkland, cafes and a public sports centre with a gym, swimming pool and velodrome. Two supermarkets are also within 10 minutes' walk.

The property falls within the catchment for the highly regarded Lord Deramore’s Primary School and Fulford Secondary School, and is well placed for access to York’s acclaimed independent schools, including St Peter’s, Bootham and The Mount. With frequent bus services to the city centre and railway station (reaching London in under two hours), plus easy access to the A64 and major retail centres like McArthur Glen, Monks Cross and Vangarde, this home offers unrivalled comfort, connectivity and lifestyle in one of York’s finest village settings.
