Main Street, Ryther, Tadcaster

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom detached family residence, complemented by a double garage, generous gardens and an overall plot extending to approximately 0.20 acres.

The property is understood to date from the late 1960s and provides traditionally arranged accommodation over two floors, comprising a spacious lounge/dining room, kitchen, five bedrooms, en-suite facilities to the principal bedroom and a house bathroom. Occupying a prominent position within the heart of the village of Ryther, the property enjoys generous outdoor space and pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.

The property is entered through a uPVC front door into the entrance hallway, where a turned staircase rises to the first floor. The hallway provides access to a useful ground floor WC, two storage cupboards and a further under-stairs cupboard.

Positioned along the right-hand side of the property is the generous lounge and dining room, extending to over 330 sq. ft. and running almost the full length of the house. Windows to both the front and rear elevations provide good natural light, with a double radiator beneath each. An exposed stone fireplace provides a central focal point, with an oil-fired fire set within.

Located towards the rear of the property is the kitchen, currently fitted with a range of wall and base units arranged along three sides and incorporating a sink and drainer, oven, ceramic hob and extractor hood. There is also a useful walk-in pantry-style cupboard, while a rear door provides direct access to the garden.

Ascending to the first floor, a central landing provides access to the principal bedroom, four further bedrooms and the house bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned to the left and benefits from its own en-suite facilities.

The four further bedrooms are all well proportioned and each benefits from a double glazed casement window and central heating radiator. The bedrooms positioned towards the rear of the property enjoy pleasant views across the adjoining farmland and surrounding countryside.

Bedroom five, as identified within these particulars and on the floorplan, has been used by the present owners as a home office, although the room would equally lend itself to use as a nursery or additional bedroom, depending upon individual requirements.

The internal accommodation is completed by the house bathroom, which currently comprises a panelled bath with shower attachment over, low flush WC and a range of fixed storage units incorporating the wash hand basin. There is also a chrome heated towel rail, tiled surrounds and a frosted double glazed window.

Externally, the property occupies a pleasant and prominent position within the village, with access taken directly from Main Street onto a generous block-paved driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles.

The driveway leads directly to the double garage, which is accessed via a large up-and-over door. The garage benefits from power and lighting and houses the central heating boiler. A pedestrian door to the rear provides direct access into the garden.

To the front of the property is an established lawned area, bordered by shrubs and planting, with a pathway running alongside the house and continuing through to the rear garden.

The rear garden is considerably larger than might initially be expected and is predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by a combination of fencing and established tree-lined boundaries.

A particularly useful feature of the property is the additional parcel of land positioned to the western side, extending to just under 0.10 acres and benefiting from its own independent access directly from Main Street. The land provides a valuable extension to the existing garden and offers considerable additional outdoor space, being predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fenced boundaries.

The oil tank is positioned towards the northern boundary of this additional area.

In addition to its existing use, the property and additional land may offer potential for redevelopment or further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The property is crucially offered for sale with vacant possession and no onward chain. All viewings are strongly encouraged and strictly via appointment only.
