3 bedroom detached house for sale

A handsome double-fronted detached period home, set behind gates on one of Acomb’s most established and well-regarded residential lanes. Believed to date back to the 1700s, the property occupies a generous, mature plot and offers a rare combination of character, privacy and practicality.

The house sits well back from the road behind secure gates, with a substantial gravelled forecourt providing parking for several vehicles. Mature gardens wrap around the property, creating a private and established setting.

Internally, the accommodation is well balanced and highly liveable. The kitchen is fitted in a classic shaker style with timber worktops, Rangemaster cooker and underfloor heating, with a bay window overlooking the garden. From here, the space opens into a superb living and dining room, centred around a log burning stove and framed by exposed beams, creating a warm and comfortable main reception space.

Two further reception rooms provide excellent flexibility, ideal for use as a sitting room, home office, garden room or playroom, depending on requirements.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, served by a spacious four-piece bathroom. The rooms are light, comfortable and enjoy pleasant outlooks over the surrounding gardens.

Externally, the gardens are a key feature. Established and well enclosed, they offer a good balance of lawn, patio and planting, providing ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Askham Lane remains one of the most convenient residential settings to the west of York, within easy reach of Acomb’s excellent local amenities, well regarded schools and regular transport links into the city centre and railway station.

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached period home of real character, offering generous outside space, gated parking and adaptable accommodation in a highly convenient location.
