Whinchat House, Escrick

RL0918 - Whinchat House is an impressive five-bedroom detached family home occupying a wonderfully private position on the edge of Escrick, approached along a tucked-away private road and surrounded by mature gardens and open countryside.

It is one of those properties you could easily pass without ever knowing it was there. Mature trees and hedging provide an excellent degree of screening, while open farmland to the rear and side creates a genuine feeling of space and seclusion.

The property has been a much-loved family home for around 20 years and offers generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

A welcoming reception hallway gives access to the principal ground-floor rooms. The sitting room is an excellent size, extending from front to rear with French doors opening onto the garden, while a separate snug provides an ideal second reception room.

At the heart of the house is the spacious breakfast kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of units and integrated appliances. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, while an archway connects the kitchen with the dining room, which enjoys particularly attractive views across the fields beyond.

A useful side lobby sits just off the kitchen and provides direct access to the side of the property, with a ground-floor cloakroom completing the practical accommodation.

Upstairs, the central landing leads to five bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom enjoys views across the surrounding countryside and benefits a modern en-suite shower room. Four further bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests or home working, alongside a family bathroom and separate WC.

Outside, Whinchat House continues to impress. A gated driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached double garage. Alongside the garage is a separate laundry room, with internal access into the garage itself.

To the rear and side of the garage block is a particularly appealing covered seating and dining area — a superb spot for summer entertaining while enjoying the privacy of the gardens.

The mature gardens wrap around the property with established planting, lawns, terraces and places to sit throughout the day. Open farmland immediately beyond the garden creates far-reaching views and adds enormously to the sense of privacy.

Whinchat House works extremely well in its current form, but the generous accommodation, grounds and setting also provide an exciting opportunity for a future owner to reimagine the property over time, subject to any necessary consents.

Despite its secluded position, the property remains conveniently placed for Escrick village, York and the A64, making it an excellent option for buyers looking for space, privacy and accessibility in equal measure.
