A recently extended modern family home with sizeable garden and garage, within commuting distance of York and Harrogate
Description
Holly Lodge is a fabulous family home, situated in a well served village on the western edge of York. The property has a warm and cosy feel with excellent proportions and plenty of natural light.
The current owner has had the property extended and created a wonderful kitchen and dining area, with large picture window and bifold doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen has been finished to a very high standard, designed by Chapel Kitchens in Nun Monkton, fitted with painted oak units under striking granite work surfaces and quality appliances, including an oil fired Aga.
Adjacent to the kitchen, accessed via double doors, is a large sitting room with French doors to garden, centred around a contemporary fireplace housing a wood burning stove. Across the hall is a study and cloakroom.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms, the principle bedroom being en suite and the others served by a contemporary house bathroom.
To the front of the house is a shared drive leading to a private parking area finished in brick sets and a double garage. To the rear there is a patio extending to the side of the house forming an inviting al fresco dining area, accessed from the kitchen. Beyond this is a lawned garden flanked by mature boarders, interspersed with and colourful shrubs.
Around half way down the garden is a timber summerhouse, currently used as an artist studio but equally well suited to a home office or summer house, complete with power supply.
