3 bed detached house for sale

Church Road, Stamford Bridge, York YO41

Ideal for buyers in search of a one-of-a-kind period home that blends character with contemporary style, this unique residence is perfect for design-conscious couples or small families looking to enjoy village life with modern comforts.

Set in an elevated position with views across the village green and church, this distinctive home is believed to be over 200 years old and was once a school. Its history adds charm to the thoughtful renovation, where period features now sit beside a sleek modern interior. The layout makes excellent use of space, beginning with a spacious 20ft dual-aspect kitchen and breakfast room on the higher level. This space is bright and well designed, with south-facing light and high-gloss heated floor tiles creating a clean and welcoming feel. German-made handle-less units provide plenty of storage, centred around a stylish island with an inset Franke sink and Monobloc tap. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, double oven with warming drawer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and a concealed Elica extractor. There's room here for an office area or casual dining area by the window, ideal for a morning coffee in the sun.

A few steps (which leave the original brick work carefully exposed) lead down to the lower level where the L-shaped lounge and dining room is found. This part of the home has a lovely balance of character and comfort, with a varnished wooden floor, exposed beams, and three large windows bringing in lots of natural light. The seller has advised that a 2-metre long Inglenook fireplace lies behind the wall in this space, offering future potential for restoration if desired. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a modern shower room fitted to a high standard. The shower area features a low-profile slate tray, textured tiles, a large glass screen and a double cubicle, with full-height tiling and underfloor heating adding a touch of luxury.

The home also benefits from an updated gas central heating system, double glazing and a gravelled driveway leading to an L shape integral garage. This garage includes a workshop area with power and lighting and adds useful storage or hobby space. The gardens wrap around three sides of the house and have been designed to be both attractive and easy to manage. With gravel areas, raised beds and mature hedging offering privacy, the outdoor space feels secluded and practical. A paved patio provides a place for outdoor dining or relaxing, and a large brick-built shed offers yet more storage for tools or garden furniture. The size and layout of the garden make it particularly suited to buyers looking for a low-maintenance outdoor space with character and privacy, without the demands of a large plot.

Located just a stroll from the centre of Stamford Bridge, the property is ideally placed for village life. This well-served village offers a mix of local shops, cafés, pubs and other amenities all within a short walk. Families will appreciate the nearby primary school, while regular bus services provide good links to York and the surrounding areas. For those commuting or needing access to the city, York is within easy reach, offering train connections and a wider range of shops, schools and leisure facilities. The combination of a character-filled home and a convenient location will appeal strongly to buyers who value both style and practicality in a village setting.
