Shortlist

Motivated seller, upper chain of only 1 property , already secured! Positioned in a desirable cul-de-sac in the heart of Bishopthorpe, this superbly extended and modernised four-bedroom detached property offers stylish, flexible living space ideal for growing families. Located just a short stroll from local amenities, the village school, and allotments, this home combines contemporary design with thoughtful functionality.

Set back behind an attractive resin driveway, the property makes a striking first impression. A composite front door opens into a generous entrance hall, where oak internal doors, window shutters and modern finishes set the tone for the rest of the home. A handy under-stairs cupboard provides useful storage.

The spacious lounge spanning the length of the property is a welcoming and well-designed room, with a large front window fitted with classic shutters and a gas fire forming an elegant focal point. Statement wallpaper adds a touch of character, and the room flows seamlessly into the extended kitchen/dining area—an ideal space for entertaining and family life.

The open-plan kitchen is a real highlight, featuring stylish blue and grey cabinetry, Milestone Quartz worktops, and a host of integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven, and hob with extractor. The kitchen offers a bespoke unit, purposefully designed to fit an American-style fridge freezer, plus a sink with instant boiling water tap which sits below a window overlooking the garden. A ceiling lantern and bifold doors fill the kitchen and dining area with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors.

A second reception room, again with statement wallpaper finish, adds versatility and could be used as a snug, playroom, or formal dining room. This reception room leads through to the utility room, which houses the combi-boiler and provides space and plumbing for a washing machine. A rear door leads conveniently out to the garden.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four excellent-sized bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is also a generous double with a built-in linen cupboard and front aspect views, while bedrooms three and four are well-proportioned rooms overlooking the rear garden. A reconfigured family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, complete with a bath and shower over, WC, and basin with mixer tap. The landing provides a generous storage cupboard plus hatch access to a partially boarded loft.

Externally, the property enjoys attractive front and rear gardens with mature shrubs and a beautiful pine tree providing a degree of privacy to the front lounge plus seasonal colour. The rear garden has been professionally landscaped to include a generous patio area, lawn, and two timber sheds for additional storage. A single garage with electric roller door sits to the side of the property and includes further storage, with secure gated side access to the rear garden. Solar panels to the roof generate a tariff, helping towards utility costs.
