About this property

RL0918 - Set in one of the most enviable positions within the ever-popular village of Skipwith, this former vicarage offers something genuinely different.

Tucked away from the main part of the village, with just a handful of neighbouring homes and open fields stretching out to the front, the setting here is what truly sets it apart. It feels quieter, more open, and far more private than most


yet you’re still within easy reach of York, Selby and the A64.

The house itself offers substantial and versatile living space extending to four double bedrooms and multiple reception rooms, making it an ideal family home. There’s a natural flow throughout the ground floor, with a generous lounge featuring a solid fuel stove, a separate dining room opening out to the front garden, and a farmhouse-style kitchen with Aga forming the heart of the home. Additional spaces include a study, a snug/garden room, utility and ground floor shower room.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, with plenty of scope to update and enhance over time.

While the property has been well cared for, it also presents a fantastic opportunity for the next owner to modernise and add value


whether through cosmetic updating or a more comprehensive transformation.

Externally, the gardens are a real highlight. To the rear, they extend to approximately 30 metres, offering a private, mature space ideal for families, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surroundings. To the front, open green space and field views create a wonderful sense of outlook.

Skipwith itself is a charming and well-regarded village, known for its strong sense of community, picturesque duck pond, and access to Skipwith Common


a beautiful nature reserve perfect for walking and exploring. The Drovers Arms pub is a local favourite, and the village falls within the catchment area for Fulford School.

This is a home that offers not just space, but choice


the chance to enjoy it exactly as it is, or create something truly special in a setting that’s hard to replicate.
