Description

York House is an exceptional residential house situated in a private position on the edge of Upper Poppleton, a particularly well served conservation village on the outskirts of York.

This magnificent family home occupies a substantial plot and offers numerous vistas over the beautifully manicured gardens, bordered by open countryside. In addition there is a pretty two bedroom Coach House, ideally suited for relatives or guests.

Set over three floors, the internal accommodation extends to over 8,000 sq/ft, beautifully presented and immaculately maintained. At the heart of the house, setting the tone for the rest of the property, is the grand entrance hall with a statement staircase sweeping to the first floor. The large well proportioned principal rooms have been designed to offer a perfect balance between contemporary and traditional living. Highlights include a beautiful hand crafted kitchen which opens onto the sitting-dining room. The kitchen itself is well appointed with integrated appliances and a large central island. Four large windows and patio doors merge the exterior with the interior and flood the room with natural light.

Continuing through the ground floor are the other key reception rooms, including a truly impressive drawing room which enjoys five windows all offering arresting views of the gardens. The stylish dining room, with open fireplace and patio doors to the garden is perfect for entertaining and more formal occasions. Completing the ground floor is a study, utility and cloak room.

The first and second floor accommodation is no less impressive. The spectacular principal bedroom benefits from a seating area with feature fireplace, en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower, complemented by no less than two dressing rooms. There are four more generous bedrooms on the first floor, two with en suite bathrooms in addition to a luxurious family bathroom.

To the second floor there is an arrangement of large rooms which offer flexible accommodation, currently used as a gym, cinema room and two bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom.
