4 bed detached house for sale in Merchant Way, York

Situated on the highly regarded Merchant Way in Copmanthorpe, this detached four-bedroom home has been in the same family ownership for over four decades. Well-maintained and naturally bright thanks to large windows and a south-facing rear aspect, the property offers generous accommodation, a mature private garden, and excellent potential for modernisation or reconfiguration – an ideal opportunity for buyers seeking a long-term family home in a sought-after village.

The property follows a traditional layout, with a welcoming hallway, spacious lounge with direct access to the garden via a set of sliding doors, formal dining room, fitted kitchen with utility, and a downstairs WC.

The modern kitchen has been replaced in recent years and features cream cabinets, contrasting work surfaces, and enjoys pleasant garden views. The ground-floor layout provides flexibility for those who may wish to create open-plan living spaces in the, future. Given the size of the plot, this home also offers further opportunity to create an extension spanning the rear of the property, where desired and subject to necessary planning and consents.

Upstairs, the bright landing offers access to the partially boarded loft space, as well as housing the airing cupboard and a further linen cupboard. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite. Bedrooms 1 - 3 all overlook the south facing rear garden, with large windows ensuring plenty of natural light. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

The rear garden is a particular highlight – private, mature, and well-established, with lawns, planting, and useful outbuildings. To the front, there is a driveway, double garage which conveniently houses the hot air heating system, and lawned frontage, which could be adapted to provide additional parking if required.

With scope to update and extend (subject to necessary planning and consents), the property offers buyers the chance to tailor it to their own style and requirements.
