5 bed detached house for sale

Newland, Selby YO8

Oak view - First impressions count for everything and the curb appeal of Oak View will leave you swooning over the stunning symmetrical architecture and envious bay windows adorning this double-fronted detached masterpiece.

With all the hallmarks of a forever family home, the timeless interiors include five double bedrooms including two en-suites, plus spacious reception rooms on the ground floor.

The secluded spot in the quiet hamlet of Newland overlooks the River Aire and is surrounded by rural countryside, yet only a short drive from the neighbouring towns and locations of Selby, Goole, Howden and Snaith.

A quiet lane leads you to the property entrance with a block paved driveway plus detached double garage for ample off-street parking.

Social Spaces

Occupying one of the stunning front bay windows is the large family lounge – a generous space to gather and relax.

Complete with a gas fire and marble surround as the focal point, the room feels cosy and homely in the winter months, but when the French doors connecting the sunroom are opened, this extends the social space dramatically.

Designed with an orangery aesthetic with tiled flooring, full glass roof and panoramic windows boasting views of the garden, the sunroom injects natural light to the ground floor and has completely transformed the downstairs living.

A family-friendly kitchen

The home was extended in 2007 to add the vast L-shaped kitchen space at the rear which connects to the sunroom and the garden via the side access door.

Four dual-aspect windows add an incredible amount of light, while the layout has been designed with flexible open space for a dining table with the cabinetry running around the perimeter.

Oak wall and base units finished with dark worktops, a tiled border and tiled flooring offer a timeless simplicity. This is all complemented by the imposing and striking Rangemaster oven.

The former kitchen is now the utility room – an impressive extra space finished with white panelled cabinetry, offering pantry storage and a home for the laundry appliances. This leads through to the boot room which is used as an alternative entrance with a side access door perfect after those muddy dog walks.

Versatile Living

Down the hallway at the front of the property and featuring the second bay window is the dining room. This is a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle – perfect for more formal dining and hosting special occasions. Due to the layout, this versatile blank canvas could also be transformed into a playroom or ground floor bedroom, depending on your family dynamics.

Spanning across the boundary of the original house footprint and into the extension is the office sitting at the heart of the home. Perfect for remote working and being close to the family hub but with a private dedicated space, you’ll find an area large enough for multiple desks and shelving units – as demonstrated with the current set up.

Completing the ground floor is a fresh and modern W/C finished with a compact vanity wash basin and boutique wallpaper.

Head back along the herringbone flooring in the hallway and ascend to the first floor via the newly renovated open staircase, classically finished in two tone neutral with pine hand rail.

Standout suites

The master suite sits above the kitchen in the second storey of the extension – enjoying the same impressive square footage and wonderful views of the garden through a wall of floor to ceiling picture windows.

Within the classic L-shaped room you’ll find a dressing area complete with oak-fitted wardrobes, plus a four piece en-suite bathroom to rival any hotel room. A luxury freestanding bathtub takes pride of place under the window, plus a separate built-in shower enclosure sits alongside it for those busy mornings.

Bedroom two, which sits about the former kitchen, is a sizeable space and comes complete with an en-suite shower room which is fully tiled and features twin wash basins.

Three further double bedrooms can be found on the first floor – each boasting two windows in line with the rest of the home which has an emphasis on natural light as a defining characteristic.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, which is conveniently located at the centre of the landing.

Textured white and slate floor tiles wrap the three-piece modern white suite which boasts a large tub with a traditional chrome shower over the bath, vanity wash basin and W/C.

Private and peaceful garden

An immaculate Indian stone patio leads directly from the sunroom and wraps around to the kitchen, providing an ideal spot for al fresco dining and hosting garden parties.

Steps lead down to a winding block paved path that separates the lawn from the greenhouse area and pergola which enjoys a lovely green backdrop.

Ultimate privacy is achieved by large mature trees and topiary in an abundance of colours running around the rear boundary. With the sound of birdsong in the air, outdoor spaces don’t get much more peaceful than this.
