Full Details for 4 Bedroom Property for sale in York, YO10 :
A traditional Victorian house with contemporary extension and large garden in one of York’s most desirable areas.
Entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, family room, downstairs shower room/cloakroom. Three bedrooms and family bathroom on first floor. Loft conversion with double bedroom to second floor. Front and side gardens.
Fern Cottages are a delightful pair of Victorian semi-detached houses; number 29 has been extended and upgraded over recent years. Indeed the current owners have lived in the property for nearly 30 years and are only moving due to downsizing. The property is light and airy throughout with the rear extension making use of doors flowing onto the rear garden.
The three storey property provides over 1600 square ft of accommodation.
The large open plan family room is the hallmark of the house - with double doors leading onto the garden. It is a light filled room that could have a variety of uses.
There are three bedrooms to the first floor; the master faces south and overlooks the school opposite. The further bedrooms on this floor provide good family accommodation, or bedroom 4 could be knocked into the bathroom to create one large family bathroom. The second floor has been converted to an excellent sized bedroom with ample storage and views across the garden.
The property has retained period features throughout.
The gardens are particularly special, expanding down to a summerhouse; private, peaceful and enclosed with mature trees and shrubs, there is also an area of raised beds.
Outside
The property is located on Heslington Lane, a conservation area and one of the most desirable residential enclaves in York. The majority of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, being divided by a mature Holly tree. There is a useful summer house at the bottom of the garden with potential for electricity – it would make a wonderful & peaceful home office with little improvement.
