ACCOMMODATION



INTRODUCTION

This award winning New York Loft Style vibe home, with in excess of 4,000 square feet of living space has to be seen to be believed. Although unassuming from the black exterior, it really is like entering into a pandora’s box of delights from the moment you walk over the threshold.

The current owners have cleverly remodelled a former workshop and created a fun and contemporary place to live with the ‘finish’ you would expect and providing much sought-after seclusion and privacy.

Individual and well thought out touches really make this property stand out - the walls with hidden full height doors, imaginative lighting, the use of different materials and reclaimed pieces that were an integral part of the building over the years all mix together to create this unique and very individual place to call home.

The drama unfolds as you drive off Heslington Lane and enter the imaginatively lit entrance which has the ability to turn into a drive-in movie theatre (with projector) as well as parking for numerous cars! At the end of this is a workshop/garage ….a superb area for car lovers ….and to make life super easy …a turntable has been installed to get you facing the right way when it’s time to leave!

The house still manages to surprise and impress as you make your way into the ground floor living accommodation via a hidden door- leading to a wonderful hallway with a bespoke staircase and view up to the roof. As the main showstopper is the first floor, the ground floor space has been laid out as bedrooms and bathrooms. With under floor heating throughout, there are two very generous double bedrooms and bathrooms and a large guest or master suite with fitted wardrobes and a stunning ensuite.

However, it is the main first floor area that really does have the triple WOW factor. Masterfully redesigned to make the very best of this space – the split level really makes this living, dining and outside area work so effortlessly. Blending salvaged wood, exposed brick walls and original timbers as well as an industrial style Bruno wood burner. The living area (on the same level as the terrace) opens up via full size glazed doors onto an East/West facing garden terrace designed to make the most of the light and has been creatively finished off with a ‘living wall’. The height in the living area means the owner can even have a game of badminton if that takes their mood!

The upper tier breakfast-kitchen and dining room is perfect for entertaining and has been designed to create sight lines and elevated views over the living area towards the roof garden and beyond. The German design kitchen sits beautifully within this conversion -sleek stainless steel and polished concrete - functional and stylish. Watch out for the pigeons though!

Off the kitchen through a reclaimed over-sized timber sliding door is a ‘master suite’ or ‘guest suite’ with fitted wardrobes, dressing area and twin shower room with floating sink. Above this is a large open and well lit room - which could be used as office space, games room, playroom or studio etc.

Externally this uniquely unassuming property is accessed from Heslington Lane. Making it an ideal 'lock up and leave' and providing a real sense of privacy and security. It is situated perfectly for access to the A64, City Centre, the railway station and the university and is close to the fantastic amenities on Fulford Road. Heslington Lane is also situated in the catchment area of the highly regarded Fulford School, voted the best comprehensive school of the decade.
