3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Whitethorn Close, York YO31

This well-kept home will appeal to young families looking for space to grow near good schools, or to downsizers after a low-maintenance home with private sunny rear garden, detached garage and excellent everyday amenities on the doorstep.

Neatly maintained and ready to move into, this is a comfortable home with a smart and practical layout throughout. Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by an entrance hallway leading directly to a bright and generously sized lounge diner, which stretches the full depth of the house. A large window to the front brings in plenty of natural light, while glazed patio doors at the rear open straight out to the garden, making this space feel open and connected to the outdoors. There is more than enough room here for both living and dining areas, with a simple layout that works well for family life or hosting friends.

The kitchen, situated to the rear and looking out over the garden, is stylish and well-designed. It’s fitted with modern cream units, sleek solid oak worktops and smart tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a double oven and induction hob with overhead extractor, and there's space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. The rear side door leads out directly to the driveway and a pantry cupboard provides useful extra storage.

Upstairs, the property features three bedrooms. The main and second bedrooms are both good-sized doubles with ample room for wardrobes, and the third is well-suited for use as a child’s room, study or nursery. The family bathroom is fully tiled, fitted with a white suite including a bath with overhead rain-style shower, WC, pedestal sink, and a chrome heated towel rail.

The south-facing rear garden is a lovely private spot that makes the most of the sunshine throughout the day. It includes a paved patio directly off the lounge/diner, offering a peaceful setting for sitting out or dining, with the rest laid to lawn and edged with colourful flowerbeds, shrubs and mature planting. A greenhouse sits to one corner, perfect for growing vegetables or plants, and there is a second patio area behind the garage. The setting is safe and enclosed, offering space for play, gardening or simply relaxing in the sun.

To the front of the property, the garden has been fully paved, creating private off-street parking that easily accommodates multiple vehicles. This is especially useful for busy households or visitors. A detached garage sits to the rear, accessed via a side drive. This gives useful storage or workshop space and could offer potential for other uses, such as a hobby room or home gym, subject to needs and permissions.

Located in the popular Huntington area of York, this home enjoys access to a wide range of local amenities that will appeal to families, professionals and retirees alike. Highly regarded schools, both primary and secondary, are within walking or short driving distance. There are local parks and green spaces nearby for weekend walks or playtime, and the Monks Cross and Vangarde shopping parks are just a few minutes away by car, offering supermarkets, high street shops and cafes. For commuters, transport links are strong — regular bus routes run into York city centre, while the A64 is quickly accessed for travel towards Leeds, the coast or further afield. This combination of peaceful residential surroundings and excellent local access makes it a great fit for those wanting a calm base without feeling cut off from what they need.
