4 bed detached house for sale

Scrayingham, York YO41

Perfect for families seeking space, peace and the charm of village life, this modern countryside home blends traditional character with contemporary comfort, set within landscaped gardens and with the rare option to rent adjoining paddock land for equestrian or lifestyle use – early viewing is highly recommended.

Designed with modern living in mind but wrapped in a traditional exterior, this energy-efficient home offers a bright, spacious layout across almost 2,100 square feet. A welcoming hallway leads into a generous sitting room with a log burner, ideal for cosy evenings, and a separate study or snug offers a quiet corner for work or relaxation. The heart of the home is a semi-open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room. This area feels spacious and light, perfect for family meals or hosting friends, with clear views over the rear garden. The kitchen itself is bespoke-fitted with an approx. 200 year old wych elm worktop on the central island, with plenty of storage and modern appliances, while the adjoining utility room adds useful practicality.

A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, four comfortable double bedrooms lead off a galleried landing, giving a sense of openness and connection between spaces. Two of the bedrooms feature stylish en-suite shower rooms, while the other two are served by a well-finished house bathroom. All rooms are attractively decorated and ready to move into.

Outside, the home sits within approximately a quarter of an acre, with a west-facing landscaped garden that makes the most of the surrounding views. A standout feature here is the 29ft pine log cabin, a fantastic bonus space that could suit a variety of uses from hobbies to a home office. Hardwood gates open onto a tarmac driveway, offering private parking and access to a single garage. At the front, an additional garden area adds to the sense of space and privacy. For those needing more land, the adjoining grass paddock of around 5 acres is currently rented from the local estate and includes a timber stable block, making it ideal for equestrian use or simply those wanting more space outdoors – the opportunity to continue this arrangement is available by separate negotiation.

Set within the quiet and picturesque village of Scrayingham, this property is part of the scenic Aldby Park estate, offering a real sense of rural community without feeling remote. The nearby village of Stamford Bridge is just three miles away and offers a good range of everyday amenities including shops, restaurants and a regular bus service. Families will appreciate the access to both primary and secondary schools in the area, with additional choices in nearby Malton and Pocklington, both around eight miles away. For broader commuting or leisure options, the historic city of York is only 10 miles distant, where the mainline railway station connects easily with Leeds, London and beyond. The combination of rural peace, access to land, and excellent transport links makes this a rare opportunity for those wanting village life without compromise.
