3 bed detached house for sale

Otterwood Lane, Foxwood, York YO24

Built by the renowned York builders Sawdon & Simpson as their original 1970s show home, this is a property that has stood the test of time. Constructed to an exceptional standard and boasting one of the highest EPC ratings we've seen this year, partially due to it's solar panels, it offers an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a solidly built family home with outstanding potential.

Step inside and you'll find well-proportioned accommodation that provides the perfect canvas for a new owner to update and personalise.

A useful ground-floor WC completes the accommodation on this floor.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, all offering excellent proportions. The bathroom has been adapted into a shower room but could easily be reconfigured back into a traditional family bathroom should a buyer wish.

Outside is where this home truly stands apart.

The rear garden is simply extraordinary. Rarely do gardens of this size become available within York.
