Description
A substantial and thoughtfully extended property in the highly regarded conservation village of Fulford, offering generous and versatile accommodation, excellent parking and beautifully landscaped gardens. The house combines contemporary improvements with an impressive array of period features, creating a welcoming home that is both practical and rich in character.

An impressive central hallway sets the tone, with panelled walls, original doors, a useful cloaks cupboard and a guest WC. To the south side of the property, the sitting room and drawing room can be opened into one generous entertaining space via folding doors. Both rooms feature attractive stone fireplaces, with timber panelling adding warmth and character plus solid oak floors run throughout. A bow window and French doors overlook the garden, ensuring an abundance of natural light.

A separate formal dining room, with its own fireplace and wood panelling sits adjacent to the superb open-plan kitchen and orangery. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke hand made Shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a central island incorporating a breakfast bar. Appliances include Miele, Rangemaster, Samsung and Bosch. A striking glazed roof lantern and generous expanses of glazing, together with double doors opening onto the garden, create a wonderfully light and inviting space while making the most of the garden outlook. A well-appointed utility and boot room provide excellent ancillary space, while a dedicated study offers an ideal work-from-home environment. Underfloor heating is installed in both the kitchen and utility.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to the principal bedroom suite, which enjoys a balcony with views over the gardens, a walk-through dressing room and a superb en suite bathroom. Quality fixtures include full Carrera marble tiling with Burlington sanitaryware/brassware and a Kaldewei bath. There are four further double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, together with a charming family bathroom. Both bathrooms have the benefit of underfloor heating.

The property is approached through secure electric, painted steel gates, opening onto a generous driveway with parking for several vehicles plus garage, all discreetly screened by established hedging. To the rear, the surprisingly extensive gardens provide a wonderful setting, with level lawns, a paved terrace and pergola, all framed by mature planting and enjoying uninterrupted views over Fulford Ings.

The surrounding area also offers excellent opportunities for walking, with a network of footpaths nearby leading to Fulford Ings, a tranquil area of parkland with attractive riverside walks.
