The Lodge, Normanby, York

Superb village house with some 0.8 acres, in need of renovation.

The Lodge was designed and built in 1986 under the direction of its current owners, who have enjoyed it as a much-loved home for nearly forty years. Set within a generous 0.77-acre plot - unusual for this village location - the property has a double garage and is wrapped by mature gardens, sweeping lawns, and a natural fringe of mixed native woodland.

The house is double-fronted, with well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. It currently requires renovation, but the size of the plot and existing footprint offer significant potential. Architectural plans have been prepared illustrating a two-storey rear extension, designed in accordance with Permitted Development rights, which would extend the existing dormer bungalow to create a five-bedroom family home.

The Lodge represents a rare opportunity to create a modern, individual residence with generous and private gardens, all within the tranquillity of a village setting.

Find Out A Little More .... - Constructed of brick with a pantile roof, the Lodge was designed as a double-fronted dormer bungalow, featuring a central porch and staircase hall providing access to all ground-floor rooms. The principal living areas enjoy views over the rear garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms with Velux windows, along with a bathroom that currently serves as an en suite to bedroom 1. A stud wall makes it easy to reconfigure the layout so the bathroom can serve as a house bathroom instead. Bedroom 2 is presently arranged as a study with views across the garden.

Outside - The house is discreetly set back from the road, screened by a hedge and post-and-rail fence, with a wide front garden planted with twelve silver birch trees. A gravel driveway leads through a timber gate to a spacious parking and turning area in front of the double garage, which is equipped with power, lighting, and a fitted workbench. Secure side gates on either flank of the house provide convenient access to the rear.

At the back, a paved terrace creates a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. Steps rise through a retaining wall to a broad sweeping lawn, perfect for family use, which merges naturally into an area of mixed native woodland interlaced with meandering pathways. A large timber shed stands beside a wildlife pond, crossed by a small timber bridge. The garden is fully enclosed with lofty hedging and timber and wire fencing, offering both privacy and security while creating a sanctuary for wildlife.
