Barney Lane, Flaxton, York, YO60 7RS

Perfect for families, downsizers or buyers seeking peaceful single level living, this individually designed detached bungalow offers space, privacy and a large garden in a rural village setting within easy reach of York. Designed by the original owners, the home has been carefully maintained and provides flexible, well planned accommodation with an energy efficient air source heat pump and double glazing. A wide and welcoming entrance hall gives access to all main rooms, creating a practical flow that works well for day to day life.

The dining kitchen sits to the front and offers plenty of cupboard and worktop space, along with a double oven, electric hob and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. There is ample room for a family dining table, making it a sociable space for everyday meals and gatherings. A separate dining room enjoys lovely views over the garden and can easily serve as a formal dining area, a second sitting room, playroom or home office depending on your needs. The lounge is bright and generous in size, with windows to three windows that draw in natural light and give a pleasant outlook over the mature garden at the front. A fireplace creates a cosy focal point, making this a comfortable space to relax in all seasons.

There are three well proportioned double bedrooms, each offering good floor space for wardrobes and bedroom furniture. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing useful storage without compromising space. The layout is practical for modern living, with both a family bathroom fitted with bath, WC and vanity unit, and a separate wet room with shower, WC and vanity. This arrangement is ideal for busy households, visiting guests or anyone looking for accessible accommodation across one level in a bungalow setting. 

The gardens are a true highlight and are clearly far more than a simple lawn. As shown in the aerial view, the plot is generous and wraps around the bungalow, creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The garden stretches well beyond the immediate rear of the home, forming a long, mature and beautifully established setting with distinct areas to enjoy throughout the seasons. Immediately to the rear, a neat lawn is framed by deep, well stocked borders filled with shrubs, flowering plants and specimen trees. The bespoke hardwood greenhouse sits neatly beside the property, ideal for keen gardeners, while a paved seating area and timber bench provide a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the outlook back towards the house. The planting is thoughtful and layered, with colour and texture at every turn.

Beyond this, the garden opens into a wider expanse of lawn interwoven with winding mown pathways that lead through swathes of spring bulbs and naturalised planting. Mature trees create dappled shade and a woodland feel in parts, offering both privacy and a haven for wildlife. In the spring months, carpets of bluebells and seasonal flowers bring striking colour, while established hedging and tree lines form natural boundaries. There are tucked away seating areas positioned to capture the sun at different times of day, along with space for children to explore or for keen gardeners to further shape the grounds. The overall feel is peaceful, private and almost park like, offering a rare opportunity to own a substantial and beautifully tended garden in a village setting.

A detached single garage with power provides secure parking or workshop space, and the ample driveway allows for multiple vehicles, making it practical for households with more than one car or visiting guests. The home is offered freehold and benefits from a modern air source heat pump heating system, helping to keep running costs in check while supporting energy efficiency for the future.

The village setting adds greatly to the appeal, especially for buyers looking for rural surroundings without feeling cut off. Flaxton is a popular village positioned between York and Malton, offering a balance of countryside charm and everyday convenience. There is a village public house that acts as a social hub for the community, while open fields and country lanes nearby provide scenic walks and a chance to enjoy the outdoors. For families, a range of primary and secondary schools can be found in nearby villages and in York, with school transport links available in the area.

Commuters will appreciate the straightforward access to the A64, making travel to York, Malton and further afield simple and reliable. York city centre, with its wide range of shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and rail connections to London and other major cities, is within comfortable driving distance at around 8.5 miles away. This makes the property especially attractive to those who want a rural home life but still need easy access to work, education and leisure facilities.

Everyday amenities including supermarkets, healthcare services and leisure facilities can be found in the surrounding towns and villages, ensuring that daily needs are well catered for. The combination of a detached bungalow, generous garden, garage and village setting creates a home that suits a wide range of buyers, from families wanting safe outdoor space to retirees seeking quiet, accessible living with strong community ties.
