Foxmeadow Croft Main Street, Sutton on Derwent, York

Set back from the roadside, hidden behind a set of wrought iron electric gates is this deceptively spacious, five bedroom detached family home. If you are looking for a large home then you will not be disappointed with the 3800 sq ft of internal accommodation that this one has to offer. The current vendors have extended the living space by converting a double garage into a bedroom annexe plus en-suite. In addition they have created a stunning garden room to the rear replacing the existing inferior one. Outside they have converted and extended an out building into a large double garage. The property benefits from gardens totalling 1.1 acres, a rare addition for houses in this location.

Entering through the front double doors you find yourself in the entrance hall with stairs leading to the first floor. Solid maple wood flooring has been laid throughout the hallway, dining room and living room. The snug is the first room on the left hand side with a large log burner in one corner, a lovely addition for the colder winter months. Steps lead down from this room into the kitchen which boasts both space and character. The ceiling in the kitchen is vaulted with a Velux roof light and a large timber beam running the full width. There is a U shaped worktop, part of which is solid granite whilst the other is solid maple wood. At the heart of the kitchen there is an impressive electric range cooker with six ring gas hob over. There are a number of units for storage and space at the centre of the room for a good size breakfast table. The utility room is off to one side with a full wall of fitted storage, a worktop that incorporates a stainless steel sink, a Velux roof light, a Siemens dishwasher and space for further white goods. The attached annexe is adjacent to the utility comprising of a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and study/ bedroom to the first floor.

The garden room can be found at the other side of the kitchen, which is modern in design. This space is perfect for entertaining guests as it connects to the kitchen and formal dining room and living room. The dining room again is a good size and currently accommodates a large table and chairs. This room could be utilised for a variety of different purposes depending on individual requirements. Moving along the hallway towards the living room you will find a cloakroom on the right hand side with a w/c and hand basin. At the rear of the house is the living room with an impressive open fire at its centre and a large bay window that provides views over the garden.

To the first floor you will find the master bedroom at the back of the house. This room has stunning views over the Wheldrake Ings and adjoining farmland. The room is substantial with three sets of fitted wardrobes, a large bay window that matches the one in the living room and a modern en-suite comprising of a free standing bath, corner shower, hand basin with storage below and a w/c. There are three further double bedrooms, one of which has a newly installed bathroom with shower over and the other a shower room. If you require additional bedrooms then the two full height loft rooms could be converted. They are already plastered and have Velux roof lights.

Externally there is 1.1 acres of garden, a lily pond with waterfall, a modern greenhouse, shed, a variety of fruit trees, mature shrubs and flowers. If you love nature then the fact that wildlife can be regularly seen in the garden will surely appeal. To the front there is a fully enclosed block paved drive, a double garage with electric door and an outbuilding that could be converted to add further accommodation or used as a workshop.
