5 bed bungalow for sale

Common Lane, Warthill, York YO19

Located in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Warthill, just to the east of York, is this substantial and beautifully maintained detached bungalow set within exceptional gardens with an open aspect to the rear. The current owners have undertaken significant improvements to the house, which occupies an incredible plot stretching to approximately 150 metres in length and offers over 2,300 square feet of flexible accommodation. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that effortlessly adapts to family life or multi-generational living, with the additional benefits of a generous single-level space in a peaceful village setting, all while being conveniently located just five miles from York city centre and adjacent to the A64 for easy access to Leeds, Malton and Scarborough.

Internally, the property is entered via a welcoming porch leading through to a spacious reception hall. The principal living room is a generous L-shaped space with dual aspect windows, filled with natural light and offering a comfortable setting for everyday living. From here, a separate dining room enjoys French doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning breakfast kitchen, thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of fitted units, butcher’s block worktops and a Belfast sink. A central island with breakfast bar provides both a focal point and a practical workspace, complemented by a Rangemaster cooker, integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer. The kitchen flows naturally into a breakfast room with French doors leading out to the rear patio.

To the rear of the property, a generous games room offers excellent flexibility and benefits from its own ensuite shower room, making it perfect for older children, guests or hobby space. In addition, a dedicated home office, also with an ensuite shower room, provides an ideal solution for those working remotely or requiring additional private accommodation.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite is a substantial double room with fitted storage and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. Three further double bedrooms are positioned towards the front of the property, all well-proportioned and served by a stylish house bathroom.

Externally, the setting is just as impressive as the interior. A sweeping driveway leads up to the property, providing extensive off-street parking and an electric vehicle charging point. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature planting, while a substantial flagged patio wraps around the property and spans the full width of the rear elevation, creating multiple seating and entertaining areas.

Undoubtedly one of the standout features is the remarkable rear garden, stretching to almost 200 ft and enjoying a delightful open aspect across neighbouring fields. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging and fencing, it offers a wonderful sense of privacy and space, ideal for families and keen gardeners alike. A timber garden shed and external water supply complete the outdoor space.

Immaculately maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, this exceptional bungalow represents a rare opportunity within the York market. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility and outstanding plot on offer.

We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed. If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks. We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf. They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely. There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser for these checks. This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances. Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from Movebutler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
