Set right in the heart of Appleton Roebuck, this beautifully presented home offers well-proportioned, modern living over two floors and is ideal for those needing generous living space without compromising on style or function. The ground floor welcomes you through a wide entrance hall with attractive tiled flooring and built-in under stairs storage, making day-to-day living tidy and organised.

This area benefits from a dual aspect that fills the space with light, enhanced further by bi-folding doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

To one side, a utility room offers space for an American-style fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, also housing the boiler and giving access to the external lean-to which adds valuable storage. The downstairs WC is sleek and modern, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor provides consistent warmth during the colder months.

Upstairs, the bright and spacious landing leads to five generously sized bedrooms, ideal for families needing flexibility for home working, guests or older children. The master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a private door into the luxurious family bathroom, which has been carefully designed with a walk-in rainfall shower, freestanding bath, twin vanity sinks and electric underfloor heating for added comfort. One of the additional bedrooms benefits from its own modern en-suite shower room, while the remaining rooms offer versatility and storage options to suit changing needs.

Outside, the rear garden is smartly landscaped with low-maintenance artificial grass, raised beds and a paved patio that’s perfect for dining outdoors or enjoying the afternoon sun. With no properties overlooking from behind, the garden feels private and secure – ideal for children playing or simply relaxing. There’s off-road parking for two vehicles at the front, and the sizeable external lean-to adds extra storage or potential for workshop use.

Families will appreciate being within easy reach of highly regarded schools in both the village and nearby areas such as Copmanthorpe, Bishopthorpe and Tadcaster, offering a range of primary and secondary options. The village itself has a strong community feel and is surrounded by countryside, making it ideal for those who value a more rural pace of life while still needing to stay connected.
