Askham Lane, Acomb, YO24

Set slightly elevated from the road, this extended Dutch style semi detached home has clearly been well loved and carefully maintained throughout its ownership, offering the space and flexibility to work particularly well for a growing family.

The attractive frontage combines a driveway with a lawned garden and established planting, while internally the accommodation has evolved considerably from the original house. A welcoming entrance hall provides access to a ground floor WC and two separate reception rooms, beginning with the bay fronted dining room. The two reception spaces are easily interchangeable depending on how a new owner chooses to use the house, with the rear reception currently forming the lounge and featuring a wood burning stove set into the chimney breast.

From here, glazed bi-folding doors open into the garden room, creating a natural continuation of the living accommodation and framing the outlook along the rear garden. French doors provide direct access outside to a low maintenance patio area, where the garden rises gradually away from the house towards an elevated lawned area at its far end along with a shed for storage. Predominantly lawned with raised beds, borders and established trees and bushes, it offers plenty of usable space while the open aspect beyond gives the rear of the property an appealing sense of privacy.

The kitchen has also been extended and adapted, with a Velux window bringing additional natural light into the room and enough space to accommodate a breakfast table alongside the fitted units. There is also a useful storage cupboard and space for a range style cooker. Alongside the kitchen is a separate utility room with its own sink, laundry plumbing and access both to the garden and integral garage.

The garage provides further useful storage and incorporates a sound insulated section currently used as a music practice area, demonstrating another of the property's more unusual flexible spaces.

Three bedrooms occupy the first floor and one of the real strengths of this style of home is their proportions. Bedrooms one and two are generous doubles with fitted or built-in storage, while the original third bedroom is also sufficiently proportioned to accommodate a double bed. The family bathroom has been modernised with a three piece white suite including a rainfall shower over the bath.

A further staircase rises to the converted second floor, where bedroom four has Velux windows to both the front and rear, eaves storage and an elevated outlook across the surrounding area towards York. Alongside is an additional office/dressing room. This room has restricted head height and is therefore not being presented as a fifth bedroom, but provides genuinely useful additional space. Pipework was incorporated when the loft was converted with the intention of allowing this area to potentially accommodate en-suite facilities in the future, subject to any necessary works and approvals.

Storage is another recurring theme throughout the house, from cupboards beneath both staircases to eaves storage on the second floor and additional roof storage created by the distinctive Dutch style roof design.

With four bedrooms, two reception rooms, garden room, extended kitchen, separate utility, ground floor WC, garage and a private rear garden, this is a home with considerably more accommodation than may first be apparent from the roadside. Double glazing and gas central heating via a condensing combination boiler complete what is an exceptionally versatile family home.




Simon Says, "Four bedrooms only tells half the story here. It’s the amount of usable space around them that makes the difference: two reception rooms, garden room, extended kitchen, utility, garage, office/dressing room and a cracking garden. This feels like a house designed for the realities of having a family, rather than just having enough bedrooms to call itself a family home.”

The open aspect beyond provides a good degree of privacy. There is also a garden shed.
