4 bed terraced house for sale

Stockton Lane, York YO31

Perfect for growing families seeking space, style and a prime York setting, this beautifully updated home blends period character with modern living across three floors. Offering flexible accommodation and impressive family spaces, the property has been thoughtfully renovated and extended by the current owners to create a home that works exceptionally well for modern family life while retaining many attractive period features.

The approach immediately creates a positive first impression, with off street parking to the front and an attractive period façade featuring bay windows and decorative detailing. Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall showcases the character of the home, with high ceilings and original style features that continue throughout.

Positioned at the front of the house, the principal reception room is a bright and elegant space centred around a feature fireplace with decorative surround. The large bay window fitted with plantation shutters allows plenty of natural light to flood in, while bespoke shelving and cabinetry add both practicality and style. This room offers an ideal setting for relaxing in the evenings or entertaining guests.

Beyond, a second reception room provides valuable additional living accommodation. Currently arranged as a snug, it enjoys another attractive fireplace and built-in storage, creating a cosy yet versatile space that could equally serve as a family room, playroom, home office or reading room depending on the needs of the next owners. The connection between the reception spaces and the kitchen creates a natural flow through the ground floor.

The true heart of the home is the impressive open plan kitchen and dining area, which has been significantly enhanced as part of a recent renovation. Measuring over 30 feet in length, this exceptional space has been designed with modern family living in mind. The beautifully appointed kitchen features handmade painted shaker style units, granite worktops throughout and underfloor heating. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, additional fridge, additional freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Cooking facilities are equally impressive, with a five-ring gas hob, two fan ovens and a Quooker boiling water tap adding convenience to everyday life. A striking central island, finished in a contrasting colour and topped with granite and inset Belfast sink, provides additional storage, preparation space and informal seating, making it a natural gathering point throughout the day.

Large roof lanterns and glazed doors bring excellent levels of natural light into the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The dining area comfortably accommodates a family dining table and enjoys direct access to the garden through bi-fold doors, making indoor and outdoor living effortless during warmer months. Additional fitted storage and practical family-friendly design ensure the space works equally well for busy weekday routines and larger social occasions. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

The first floor continues to impress with well proportioned rooms and attractive character features. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and benefits from generous dimensions, a bay window and a feature fireplace that reflects the period heritage of the property. High ceilings and neutral décor create a calm and relaxing environment.

A further substantial double bedroom is positioned to the rear and a third bedroom provides flexible accommodation suitable as a child's room, guest bedroom or home office. The family bathroom on this floor is fitted with a modern suite including a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

The second floor hosts an impressive additional bedroom and bathroom suite. This spacious bedroom benefits from roof windows and useful floor space, creating a bright and comfortable retreat that would work particularly well as a principal bedroom, guest suite or teenage space. The accompanying large bathroom serves this floor and includes a stand alone bath, wash basin and WC, plus separate sizable walk in shower, providing excellent convenience and flexibility for family living.

Throughout the property, the combination of original period character and contemporary improvements has been extremely well done. Decorative fireplaces, high ceilings, bay windows and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside the modern kitchen extension, updated bathrooms and carefully considered finishes. The result is a home that feels both characterful and practical.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been designed to be low maintenance while remaining highly functional for family use. A generous paved terrace directly outside the kitchen provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, barbecues and entertaining. Beyond, the garden offers an excellent space for children to play safely and for families to enjoy time outdoors. Raised planting beds run along the fencing which add further interest, while the enclosed nature of the garden creates a pleasant sense of privacy.
