Askham Lane, Acomb, YO24

Situated on a sought after stretch of Askham Lane, within easy reach of the wide range of shops and amenities in Acomb, this is an attractive and significantly improved four bedroom traditional semi detached home, set on a generous corner plot.

The current owners have made a series of well-considered changes to the property, most notably opening up the ground floor to create a flowing, sociable living space that suits modern day-to-day living. Throughout, the house has been sympathetically modernised, carefully retaining its original charm and character while introducing a cleaner, more contemporary finish.

Externally, the corner plot is a real advantage. To the front, there is a brick paved driveway providing off street parking, along with a recently fitted EV charging point. Gated access leads through to the side and rear gardens, which are open to each other yet well enclosed, creating a secure and usable outdoor space.

The garden to the side is laid mainly to lawn, whilst to the rear there is a raised paved seating area, perfectly positioned for enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine thanks to the gentle terraced nature of the plot.

Internally, an entrance vestibule provides a practical buffer from outside, leading into a welcoming hallway with a slightly different staircase configuration to many similar homes, incorporating a half landing and a larger than expected walk in storage cupboard. There is also a further understairs storage cupboard which has been adapted to provide plumbing for a washing machine, effectively doubling as a utility area, whilst also housing the gas central heating system and hot water cylinder.

The ground floor living space is where the house really comes into its own. A bay fronted lounge opens through to the dining area and into the kitchen beyond, creating a seamless open plan layout. The finish strikes a careful balance between old and new… maintaining the feel of a traditional home while offering a more modern, connected way of living. The kitchen itself is fitted with a modern range of units and sits naturally within this open plan arrangement, making it a true hub of the home.

To the rear, a conservatory/lean to provides an additional reception area. With the benefit of a radiator, this is a space that can be used throughout the year, with French doors opening out to the garden. A ground floor WC is also accessed from here.

To the first floor are three well proportioned bedrooms, two of which retain original feature fireplaces, adding to the sense of character within the home. The bathroom has been recently updated and offers a four piece suite including a roll top cast iron bath and separate rainfall shower, finished in a style that complements the age of the property while still feeling fresh and current.

The second floor provides a further bedroom, filled with natural light from Velux windows to both the front and rear, along with excellent eaves storage, creating a versatile and highly practical additional space.



Simon Says "At first glance it’s a classic semi… but what the current owners have created here is something far more special. Opened up, thoughtfully improved, and styled to blend traditional charm with modern living, this is a home that just works."
