3 bed detached house for sale

Otterwood Paddock, Stamford Bridge, York YO41

Built in the mid 1970s by the highly regarded local builders Sawdon & Simpson, this is the largest of their three bedroom designs and offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for a well-built home they can update to their own taste. With approximately 1,000sqft+ of accommodation, excluding the garage, there's plenty of space to work with, and the position overlooking open countryside and the Stamford Bridge Viaduct makes it particularly special.

The ground floor has a welcoming entrance hall and downstairs w/c, a generous living room with a bay window and gas fireplace, and a separate dining room with sliding doors opening onto the west facing rear garden. The kitchen is a good size, with plenty of cupboards and worktop space, and enjoys lovely views over the garden and fields beyond.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are well proportioned, with the two larger bedrooms offering excellent space and fitted wardrobes. The rear bedrooms enjoy a particularly lovely outlook across the surrounding countryside, and the third bedroom would work equally well as a child's room, home office or guest bedroom. A family shower room with walk in shower, toilet and sink unit completes the first floor.

Outside, the property has a driveway leading to an attached garage, along with a neatly kept front garden. To the rear is a good-sized, established garden with a lawn, patio areas, mature planting and space to sit and enjoy the peaceful setting. The open fields beyond provide a wonderful backdrop and a real sense of space.

The house would benefit from cosmetic updating throughout, but that's part of its appeal. The rooms are already generously sized, the layout works well for family life, and there's a great opportunity to create something special without having to compromise on the location.

Stamford Bridge is a popular village with a strong sense of community and a good range of everyday amenities, including local shops, places to eat, a primary school and lovely countryside walks. The historic viaduct and riverside surroundings add to the village's charm, while York and Pocklington are both within easy reach for a wider choice of shopping, schools and leisure facilities.

Life in Stamford Bridge continues to attract buyers looking for the perfect balance between village living and excellent access to York. The village has a strong community feel where local people know one another and independent businesses continue to thrive.

The village square provides a welcoming place to meet friends or enjoy local events throughout the year, adding to the area's lasting appeal.
