There is plenty of space for children to play, while the different seating areas allow you to enjoy the garden throughout the day.

The detached double garage offers far more than simply parking and storage. Above is a separate and highly versatile room, currently used as a TV room and home office, while a ground-floor shower room adds further practicality.

Together, these spaces offer tremendous flexibility and plenty of future potential. They could work brilliantly for home working, teenagers, hobbies, entertaining or guest accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

This is a substantial and much-loved family home, combining generous proportions, flexible living space and a beautiful private garden, all within one of the area’s most conveniently placed villages. Bilbrough is one of the area’s most desirable villages, combining a peaceful rural setting with excellent access to York, Leeds and the wider motorway network.

Surrounded by open countryside and attractive woodland walks, including its much-loved bluebell woods, the village has a strong sense of community with a village hall, historic church and traditional pub, which is currently changing ownership....watch this space!

Bilbrough is a genuinely friendly and sociable village, with a welcoming community and an active calendar of events throughout the year. While the village pub awaits its new owners, residents come together once a month for a popular pop-up pub in the village hall. Regular events also include quiz nights, pizza nights and the quarterly Bilbrough Wine Club. Every couple of years, the village hosts a safari supper, with neighbours moving between different homes for each course.

It is an incredibly fun and social place to live, offering a real sense of community that can be difficult to find.

Despite its peaceful rural feel, Bilbrough is only around six miles from York and sits just minutes from the A64. This provides straightforward access into York, west towards Leeds and onwards to the A1(M), making it particularly well placed for commuters and anyone travelling throughout Yorkshire and beyond.
