5 bed detached house for sale

Skipwith, Selby YO8

Families looking for space, privacy and a safe village setting will feel right at home at Oak House. With generous rooms, a low maintenance garden, ample parking and a double garage, this is a place where children can grow and memories can be made.

Set back behind a low brick wall with a neat front lawn and pathway, the property has strong kerb appeal with its brick finish, bay window and attractive red entrance door. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a bright hallway that leads through to the main living areas. At the front of the house to the left the bay fronted lounge provides a calm and comfortable space to relax. The large window allows plenty of natural light to fill the room, and there is ample space for sofas and storage, making it ideal for quiet evenings or family film nights. There is a further front facing sitting room across the hallway, which could be used as a play room or home office.

To the rear, the open plan kitchen diner is clearly the heart of the home. This is a spacious and practical kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself features modern white units, generous black solid granite worktops and integrated appliances, including eye level ovens and a hob with extractor above. A peninsula breakfast bar with seating creates a social hub where children can do homework or guests can gather while meals are prepared. There is plenty of storage and work surface space, making it easy to keep everything organised.

The dining area sits alongside bi folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden. When opened, these doors allow the inside and outside spaces to flow together, perfect for summer gatherings and family celebrations. The tiled flooring is both stylish and practical, ideal for busy households. A separate utility room provides additional storage and space for laundry appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen clutter free. A ground floor WC accessed from the hallway completes this level.

Across the upper floors, the property continues to impress. Each bedroom is a genuine double, offering flexibility for growing families, guests or home working. The second and third bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, giving useful storage without taking up floor space. Bedroom number two also has a handy ensuite shower room for every day ease. The family bathroom is well presented, with a bath and separate shower area to suit different needs.

The top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, creating a private retreat away from the rest of the house. This generous space includes a dressing room and a modern en-suite bathroom. Roof windows allow natural light to pour in while maintaining privacy. This layout works well for parents who want their own quiet area at the end of the day.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to offer both low maintenance and usable space. A large paved area provides room for outdoor seating and dining, as seen from the kitchen’s bi folding doors. There is also an area of artificial lawn and the south west facing aspect means the garden enjoys afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant place to relax. The boundaries are enclosed with fencing, and a secure gate at the front, adding privacy and security for families.

To the rear and side of the home, there is ample off street parking leading to the detached double garage. The double garage offers secure parking, storage, or potential for a workshop or home gym. The driveway provides space for multiple vehicles, which is ideal for households with more than one car or regular visitors. The overall plot feels generous and well planned, as shown from the aerial view, with clear definition between garden, driveway and garage space.

The property is located within the popular rural village of Skipwith, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by open countryside. This environment is ideal for families who enjoy outdoor walks, cycling and a strong sense of community. Despite its rural feel, the village remains well connected to nearby towns, making commuting straightforward. Local amenities include a village hall, pub and nearby convenience shopping for daily needs. There are primary schools within easy reach, and further schooling options in surrounding areas, which will appeal to families planning for the future. Road links connect the village to larger centres such as York and Selby, providing access to wider shopping, leisure facilities and rail services.

Please note the property has oil fired heating.
