3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Set along the historic Roman road of Tadcaster Road in the heart of Dringhouses Village, this exceptional semi-detached period home offers a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of York’s heritage. Originally built around 1525 as part of a Chapel of Ease linked to Holy Trinity Church on Micklegate, the property retains a wealth of original character, including exposed beams, timber doors, and a striking inglenook fireplace.

Dringhouses is a highly sought-after village on the edge of York, surrounded by natural beauty such as Hob Moor’s 89-acre nature reserve, the Knavesmire Racecourse, and nearby woodland walks. The route into York passes the historic Tyburn gallows site and reaches Micklegate Bar and the medieval city walls in under 30 minutes on foot, with York Minster less than two miles away. Local amenities include traditional pubs such as The Fox and Roman and The Cross Keys, while Tadcaster Road provides excellent transport links to the A64, regular bus services, and easy access to all major routes. York Train Station is around a 40-minute walk.

The ground floor features a spacious lounge with exposed beams and a brick-built fireplace, a characterful dining area, and a beautifully extended kitchen diner. The kitchen, dining area, and bathroom were fully refurbished in 2020. The bathroom includes a roll-top bath, separate shower, sink, and WC. Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms.

Externally, the property benefits from a charming rear garden, a converted slate-roofed outbuilding now used as a shed, and a garage-sized parking area. Footpath access leads directly to the Racecourse and surrounding green spaces.

Offered with no onward chain, this unique home blends centuries of history with modern comfort — a truly rare opportunity in one of York’s most historic and desirable locations.

The cost of these checks is £40 + VAT per person. This is a non-refundable fee. These charges cover the cost of obtaining relevant data, any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid, and the checks completed in advance of the office issuing a memorandum of sale on the property you would like to buy.
