4 Bedroom Detached House

An impressive extended semi-detached house that has been upgraded to an excellent standard throughout, providing spacious and versatile living accommodation, four bedrooms, two outbuildings and an extensive south-facing garden.

The property is situated in an ideal location within the popular Dringhouses area of York, within easy reach of the city centre and the outer ring road. Occupying an attractive position on Leven Road, centred around a green, the house has a brick-set driveway to the front and side providing ample off-street parking.

The front door opens into a generous reception hall with a staircase leading to the first floor and doors opening into the living areas.

To the front of the house is a sitting room with a bay window allowing plenty of natural light to flood into the room. The room also benefits from stylish flooring, feature panelled walls and inset book storage.

The sitting room then opens through into the heart of the home: a stunning extended open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room. The kitchen displays an excellent range of shaker-style units with a central island and breakfast bar incorporating a induction hob with an extractor hood above. There are also two eye-level ovens, one of which is a combination oven with a microwave setting, together with space for an American-style fridge freezer.

To the side of the breakfast bar is space for a large dining table, while to the rear the room opens into a spacious family area with a modern wood-burning stove. Bi-folding doors give direct access to the south-facing patio and garden beyond.

The family room opens into the converted former garage, which now comprises a useful storage area, shower room and a versatile fourth bedroom that could alternatively be used as a study, playroom, or guest room.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from mirrored fitted wardrobes, together with a modern family bathroom.

The extensive south-facing garden is a real highlight of the property. A patio immediately outside the bi-folding doors provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this is a generous lawn with mature, planted borders and a pathway leading to the entertaining area at the rear.

Within the garden is a converted bar, aptly named ‘Tipsy Twig’, with a decked seating area and space for a hot tub, creating an ideal setting for alfresco entertaining. This versatile outbuilding could also easily be used as a home office, studio, or garden room. There is also an additional outbuilding providing valuable storage in place of the converted garage.

The garden enjoys a leafy outlook, backing onto established trees with the well-known Hogg’s Pond beyond.

The house lies a short distance from Tadcaster Road, where there is a large Tesco supermarket and a range of smaller local shops and amenities. Tadcaster Road also provides excellent access to York city centre and the A64 outer ring road.

OFFER PROCEDURE
Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE
We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
