Description
Located on one of York’s finest roads, overlooking the wide open spaces of the Knavesmire, Wherwell House is a superb five bedroom family residence of just under 3,000 sq ft.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire this detached house providing extensive well-planned accommodation over three floors. Set back from the road behind a large driveway, the house offers remarkable entertaining space and practical yet flexible living accommodation for the modern family.

Approached through a generous entrance hall, the ground floor accommodation flows well with large double doors opening to the dining room and onto the large kitchen-breakfast-family room beyond. The bespoke kitchen has an array of fitted appliances, granite work tops and a large island unit with breakfast bar.

Continuing through the ground floor there is an impressive formal dining room with a log burner and several windows flooding the room with plenty of natural light. Large double doors open on to the more secluded garden room with a further log burner and patio doors opening to the garden beyond. In addition there is also a useful utility room and cloak room.
To the first floor there are four generous bedrooms served by two house bathrooms. The real centrepiece of the upstairs accommodation is the principal suite, entered through a luxurious dressing room with en suite shower room, a bespoke staircase leads you to the principal bedroom on the second floor.
