Situated on Station Road in the ever-sought-after village of Upper Poppleton, an exceptional double fronted detached period house, that stands in extensive lawned gardens that back onto open fields.

Occupying a prime position on the highly regarded Station Road in the sought-after village of Upper Poppleton, this substantial Edwardian detached family residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable character, elegance and exceptional potential.

The property displays many of the classic architectural attributes associated with its period, including generous proportions, high ceilings, attractive bay windows, feature fireplaces and charming original detailing and now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to sympathetically modernise and make it their own. There is also significant scope for extension and reconfiguration, including the potential to extend above the existing double garage to create an enlarged principal bedroom suite, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Approached via a gravelled driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to the double garage, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, screened from Station Road by a mature front hedge. A welcoming reception porch with attractive stained-glass door opens into a spacious central hallway, where further period features include decorative picture rails and original Edwardian floor tiling, part of which remains preserved beneath the existing carpeting, offering purchasers the opportunity to restore and showcase this beautiful original feature.

The ground floor provides an impressive range of reception space, comprising three generously proportioned reception rooms, which boast a range of features including large bay windows, feature fireplaces and an abundance of natural light. These versatile rooms offer excellent flexibility for modern family living.

Beyond the hallway is a useful ground-floor shower room and WC, together with a spacious kitchen fitted with a range of units, which flows into a dining area with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden. A practical utility area is situated to the rear.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom and separate shower room. A secondary staircase rises to a substantial loft area on the second floor, presenting exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, guest suites, hobby rooms or home office space, subject to the necessary permissions.

Without doubt, one of the property's most remarkable features is its exceptional rear garden. Extending to an impressive length and enjoying complete privacy, the grounds offer a wonderful variety of outdoor spaces and a rare sense of seclusion. The garden is arranged in three sections, beginning with a lawned garden featuring mature trees and established shrub borders, leading into the orchard area with a collection of mature fruit trees and a charming conservatory, creating a peaceful retreat within the grounds. The final section comprises a beautiful wildflower meadow, providing a haven for wildlife and incorporating sixteen solar panels. Backing directly onto open fields, the gardens enjoy an idyllic rural outlook rarely found so conveniently close to local amenities.

Poppleton Railway Station is just a short walk from the property, offering direct services into York and making the home particularly attractive for commuters.

Offer Procedure

Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

Anti Money Laundering Compliance

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

Aml checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing aml check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint hipla as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), hipla will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the aml check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from hipla which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
