Chestnut Avenue, York, YO31 1BR

Perfect for growing families seeking space, character and modern living, this impressive home blends period charm with thoughtfully updated interiors and a wonderful garden setting. Offering flexible accommodation and excellent entertaining space, the property has been carefully enhanced to create a home that feels both welcoming and practical for modern family life. From the moment you step inside, the attractive period features set the tone, with stained glass detailing, generous proportions, high ceilings and decorative touches reflecting the home's heritage. The entrance hall provides a warm welcome and leads through to a beautifully presented living room positioned at the front of the house. This elegant reception space benefits from a large bay window that fills the room with natural light, while the feature fireplace creates a cosy focal point for relaxing evenings with family and friends.

Moving through the property, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family space to the rear. Designed with modern living in mind, this substantial area combines style and functionality. The kitchen is fitted with sleek contemporary cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and a central island that provides additional preparation space as well as an informal gathering point. Integrated appliances help maintain the clean, streamlined appearance, while large windows ensure the room remains bright throughout the day. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a large dining table, making it ideal for everyday family meals as well as larger celebrations and social occasions.

Flowing seamlessly from the dining area, the extended family room creates a superb additional living space. Large rooflights above flood the room with natural light, while the wide bi-fold doors create an almost seamless connection with the garden beyond. During warmer months, these doors can be opened fully to create an excellent indoor and outdoor entertaining environment. The family room offers flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles, whether used as a relaxed sitting area, children's play space or a place to gather and unwind at the end of the day.

Practicality has also been carefully considered. A useful utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered. A ground floor WC adds further convenience for family life and visiting guests.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over two upper floors, offering excellent flexibility for larger households. On the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms. Each room enjoys good natural light and offers comfortable accommodation for family members, guests or those working from home. One of the bedrooms on this floor benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it particularly well suited for older children, guests or multigenerational living arrangements. The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is fitted with a modern suite, including a stand alone bath, shower cubicle providing both practicality and comfort.

Occupying the top floor is the impressive principal bedroom suite. This generous space creates a private retreat away from the rest of the home and enjoys a sense of peace and separation that many buyers will appreciate. The bedroom provides ample space for furnishings and benefits from fitted wardrobe storage. A modern en-suite shower room adds further convenience and luxury, creating a self contained sanctuary within the home.

Throughout the property, the careful balance between original character and contemporary design is particularly appealing. Period details sit comfortably alongside modern improvements, ensuring the home retains its personality while meeting the needs of modern buyers. Decorative fireplaces, stained glass features and traditional architectural details contribute to the property's charm, while the updated kitchen, bathrooms and rear extension provide the practical benefits expected from a modern family home.

Outside, the garden represents another major highlight. Thoughtfully designed to provide a range of spaces for relaxation and entertaining, it offers something for every member of the family. Directly outside the rear extension is a paved terrace that creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Beyond this, a raised decked seating area provides an attractive space for outdoor furniture and social occasions. The lawn offers room for children to play and for keen gardeners to enjoy, while mature planting, established shrubs and attractive trees create a private and leafy backdrop. The garden feels like a natural extension of the living accommodation and is particularly well suited to families who enjoy spending time outdoors.
