Property Description

Tucked away in the heart of Heslington, this beautifully presented detached home offers a rare opportunity for those seeking character, space, and an unbeatable location. With over 2,300 sq. ft of thoughtfully designed living space, this property is perfect for families or professionals looking for a home that blends period charm with modern convenience. Set back from the road with a large driveway and garage, it provides both privacy and a sense of grandeur. With no onward chain, this is an exceptional chance to secure a stunning home in a highly desirable setting.

Stepping inside, you are immediately welcomed by a blend of character and contemporary design. The expansive open-plan reception area is bathed in natural light, thanks to striking large sliding doors that frame picturesque views of the rear garden. These doors extend the living space outdoors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out—ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding in a tranquil setting. Multiple reception rooms provide flexible living options, whether you need a formal dining space, a cosy lounge, or a home office. The large reception room to the left is currently fitted with high quality solid oak shelving and would be a fantastic library or office space. 

The recently installed kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful balance of modern function in this period home, offering generous worktops, breakfast bar and ample storage within the shaker style base and wall units. A convenient downstairs WC, also housing the boiler, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms offer plenty of space for family and guests. The master suite is a standout feature, with vaulted ceiling and large floor to ceiling windows, spanning the width of the room, overlooking the stunning landscaped garden and beyond. This amazing space is complete with a dedicated dressing room and en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms share a stylish family bathroom (currently Jack & Jill style), designed for both comfort and practicality. The second bedroom is a large size, with door into the bathroom and bespoke high quality built in wardrobes, and duel aspect windows with views into the garden. 

The outdoor space is just as impressive as the interiors, offering a large, beautifully designed garden that is divided into distinct areas to suit a variety of needs. Immediately outside the house, a generous patio provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, barbecues, or simply soaking up the sunshine. Beyond the patio, a well-maintained lawn is bordered by mature and colourful planting, creating a peaceful and secluded space for children to play or for those who enjoy tending to a garden. Brick-built storage buildings offer excellent space for garden tools, bikes, or even a workshop. Moving further back, the garden takes on a more natural, wilder feel, perfect for those who appreciate a countryside aesthetic. This section includes a dedicated compost area, ideal for keen gardeners looking to grow their own produce. At the very rear, the garden opens out towards an open space, offering an unspoilt rural backdrop that enhances the sense of space and tranquillity. Whether hosting guests, enjoying family time, or embracing a love for nature, this thoughtfully designed outdoor space is a true extension of the home.
