Description

Lilac Villa dates back to the 1800s and is originally two Victorian railway worker cottages on the outskirts of the village of Escrick.

This exceptional home seamlessly combines modern living with the enchanting character of a traditional cottage, featuring an expansive open-plan layout, soaring ceilings, and four generously sized double bedrooms.

There is a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area. The centrepiece is the exquisite bespoke kitchen by local House of Elliott, a York cabinet maker, showcasing hand-painted Little Green Basalt base and wall units, tailored pantry storage, a Quooker tap, and luxurious brass fixtures finished with a Calacatta Quartz worktop. The kitchen leads into a light and airy dining area and onto the wonderful family sitting room with log-burning stove, built in media unit and French doors opening to the garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, providing additional storage and space for laundry appliances.

Continuing through the ground floor is a separate, more formal sitting room with cast-iron open fireplace. There is solid oak flooring throughout the main reception areas.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor you will find four generous bedrooms and a beautifully appointed house bathroom with roll-top bath. The principal bedroom has a particularly luxurious feel with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.

Externally the property sits on a particularly sizeable plot, surrounded by scenic countryside. The garden comprises immaculate lawns to the front and rear flanked by mature hedges and trees. Well-placed patios provide idyllic places for al-fresco dining. To the rear of the garden sits the home office, ideal for home workers or those seeking a studio.

A gravelled driveway provides off-street parking for several cars, alongside the double garage.

Location

Escrick lies about six miles to the South of York and about three miles from the A64 providing easy access to Leeds and the A1/M1.

The village offers an impressive range of amenities given its size, these include a doctors’ surgery, two public houses, convenience store, tennis club and a first class hotel with restaurant. The local primary school was rated as outstanding in the Ofsted report (2018) and there is the highly regarded Fulford Secondary School in Fulford about four and a half miles away. Queen Margaret’s independent school is on the southern fringes of the village and provides a number of sporting facilities for public hire.

From the house, there are local walking trails and a cycle track that follows the path of the original railway line, connecting to York and Escrick village.

The historic city of York is a hive of activity with an abundance of shopping facilities and restaurants, two theatres and York Racecourse. York railway station is located on the East Coast mainline and offers regular services to Edinburgh and London, with some journeys taking under two hours to London Kings Cross.

The city boasts excellent restaurants including the award winning The Star Inn the City by Andrew Pern and the Michelin-starred restaurant, Roots, by Tommy Banks. In addition, there is Skosh by Neil Bentinck which also boasts a Michelin-star, positioned on popular Micklegate.
