The property has been thoughtfully extended to the side, rear and loft, dramatically increasing both space and functionality while maintaining many original character features such as stained glass windows and traditional fireplaces.

At the heart of the home is a truly impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, designed to maximise natural light and garden views. Full-width sliding glass doors open onto the mature west-facing garden, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience
ideal for entertaining and family life.

The bespoke hardwood kitchen is fitted with high-quality integrated appliances, quartz worktops, NEFF dual single ovens and appliance suite, BORA induction hob with integrated extractor and stylish wooden flooring. A contemporary feature fireplace adds warmth and elegance, making this space a multifunctional hub incorporating a kitchen, dining area, family living space and a cosy snug for children.

To the front of the property, a generous reception room with bay window and a charming log burner provides a more formal living space, while a separate home office and downstairs WC enhance practicality for modern lifestyles.

First & Second Floor Accommodation

The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from a stylish Jack and Jill en-suite shower room complete with his-and-hers sinks. The family bathroom is finished to a high specification and features a freestanding stone bathtub alongside a walk-in glass-enclosed shower.

The loft conversion provides a spacious fifth bedroom, enjoying elevated views over the garden and offering excellent flexibility as a guest suite, teenager’s room or additional workspace.

Outside

To the front, the property benefits from a large gravel driveway providing off-street parking for up to five vehicles. To the rear lies a substantial mature west-facing garden, beautifully maintained and perfect for families and entertaining. A brick-built garage and additional storage complete the outdoor space. There is underfloor heating to the rear ground floor and a customizable SMART heating system to the rest of the property and hardwired ethernet points throughout.

Bishopthorpe is 2 miles from York City Centre and offers three award winning pubs as well as a social club, multiple hair salons, a Co-Op, riverside restaurants, tennis, football and cricket club and much more which explains why it such a desirable place to reside.
