4 bed detached house for sale

Claxton, York YO60

Families seeking space to grow and buyers drawn to village life will feel at home at Five Steps, an individually built home with flexible rooms and a garden made for entertaining and enjoying. This is a place to settle, adapt and enjoy village life with ease. With no onward chain, it has to be viewed to be appreciated.

Set back from the road, this indivually built family home feels calm and private from the moment you arrive. The solid wooden porch entrance leads into a central hall that connects the main rooms and benefits from a double sided wood burner, adjoining the living room.

The lounge at the front of the home is well sized, and is ideal for both quiet evenings as it does for every day family life. The log burner creates a cosy focal point to the room with rustic wooden beam above, and a large window lets in lots of natural light to fill the room.

A ground floor bedroom provides valuable flexibility for guests, older relatives or anyone wanting step free living, especially with a stylish downstairs shower room along the hall. This space could also suit a teenager seeking independence. Further along the hall, a second reception room could be used as a playroom, snug or study, making it ideal for families with younger children or those needing a dedicated work space.

The open plan kitchen dining room stretches across the rear of the house and is the heart of daily life. This long, open space easily accommodates cooking, eating and spending time together, with wide clear views across the garden that bring the outside in. There is plenty of room for a large table, making it a natural place for shared meals, celebrations and relaxed weekends. There is further storage under the stairs and a handy porch for muddy boots or paws, connecting the kitchen into the rear garden, which could be easily made into a utility room.

Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms are all comfortable doubles, each arranged to make the most of the available space. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobe storage and a large front facing window to let in light. The other two rear facing bedrooms have been cleverly adapted to create extra areas that work well for study, reading or play, giving children their own zones within their rooms. A contemporary family bathroom serves this floor, with bath and shower over head, toilet and double sinks on top of a storage unit - all laid out for ease of use during busy mornings.

Outside, the sense of space continues. The rear garden is a real highlight and will appeal strongly to families. Laid mainly to lawn, it offers room for children to play, pets to roam and adults to relax. Raised beds add colour and interest, and there is space set aside for growing vegetables, linking well to a lifestyle that values fresh air and outdoor time. Different seating areas make the garden feel usable throughout the day, and a decked area provides another option for entertaining, with the hot tub brings a touch of luxury without overpowering the space.

At the far end of the L shaped garden sits a large purpose built home office, fully powered and suitable for business use. Off street parking sits to the front, suitable for several cars. The double garage has been adapted into a workshop, offering powered space for hobbies, storage or practical projects but still has ample space to be used as storage for vehicles if desired.

The property is powered by an added air source heat pump and uv solar panels, ensuring costs are low.

The village itself adds greatly to the appeal, especially for families and those seeking a rural feel. Local green spaces and surrounding farmland create a sense of openness, while nearby woodlands and views towards the wider countryside reinforce the connection to nature. For families, schooling is well catered for, with respected Sand Hutton Primary School and Huntington School within catchment and a choice of independent schools within easy reach. The village lies to the south of the A64 York-to-Malton trunk road, giving easy access to the A1(M) and Leeds as well as to York with its railway station offering high speed rail links to London Kings Cross.
