4 bed detached house for sale

Sykes Court, Wheldrake, York YO19

Perfect for families seeking a peaceful lifestyle with the flexibility for multigenerational living, this charming home offers generous living spaces, a private walled garden and a layout suited to modern day life. With strong links to York and excellent local schooling, this is not one to miss.

Tucked away in the heart of this desirable rural village, the property has been thoughtfully extended and improved to create a warm, adaptable home. A gated front garden with mature hedging leads to a welcoming entrance hall with a downstairs w/c cloakroom just off to the side. From here, internal doors open into two main reception areas. The sitting room is bright and inviting, with light streaming in through a front-facing window and French doors that lead directly to the rear garden. A gas fire adds a homely touch, making this a lovely space for relaxing as a family.

Opposite, a wide opening leads through to a sociable open-plan kitchen and dining area. This family hub benefits from natural light from a further front window and has been finished with a sleek range of high-gloss fitted units, including an integrated electric hob, double oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The peninsula island provides extra surface space, additional storage, and a spot for casual meals. A separate utility room just off the kitchen includes a sink, washing machine and additional storage, with a door to the rear garden for added practicality.

Adding a sense of intrigue and further versatility, a secret door within the kitchen opens into a cleverly converted Hobby Room. Using part of the original double garage, this flexible space can be tailored to suit – whether as a gym, home office, playroom or creative studio. It also provides internal access out to the rear garden and includes a concealed laundry area behind mirrored sliding doors, with space for a dryer, fridge, freezer, and household storage.

Upstairs, the layout has been reconfigured to maximise space and function. The current master bedroom sits above the garage extension, offering excellent floor space, fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room. Adjacent, the former master bedroom is now set up as a private lounge, linking through to the en-suite, creating a peaceful retreat or potential dressing area. There are three further double bedrooms, two of which include fitted storage, while the third has been adapted to include a cosy reading nook, with ample space for a large freestanding wardrobe if desired. The family bathroom has been upgraded to a beautiful and modern space, fitted with a shower over the bath, built-in storage and an illuminated wall-mounted mirror.

The rear garden has been landscaped for easy maintenance, combining paved, lawned and gravelled areas for year-round enjoyment. It’s perfectly sized for children to play or to host family and friends outdoors. There's no direct external access to the garage, but entry is available via the Hobby Room. The garden also includes a purpose-built outdoor office pod, available by separate negotiation, providing even more scope for home-based work or hobbies. Two private parking spaces sit to the side of the home on a tarmac driveway, accessed from a shared road with a brick-set finish. One half of the original double garage has been retained for secure storage, complete with power and lighting.

Wheldrake is a well-regarded village that continues to attract families and professionals looking for countryside living within easy reach of York. The village has a strong community atmosphere and offers a well-rated primary school, a local pub, café and village shop. The property sits within catchment for the highly respected Fulford School, and there are regular bus links into York, ideal for school runs or commuting. Those travelling further afield will appreciate the proximity of the A64, offering straightforward access to Leeds and the wider motorway network. Local footpaths and open green spaces are nearby, providing lovely walks and a chance to enjoy the surrounding rural setting, which perfectly complements the home’s large garden and calm atmosphere. With space to grow, flexible internal rooms and a welcoming village environment, this home offers a rare opportunity for families wanting to put down roots in a location that balances rural charm with excellent connections.
