7 bed detached house for sale

Leeds Road, Selby YO8

Set on the ever-popular Leeds Road in Selby, this substantial detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile home, ideally suited to modern family living. Occupying an impressive corner plot of approximately 0.4 acres, the property offers generous internal accommodation alongside exciting future potential, including scope to construct a separate detached dwelling (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

Upon entering, the property makes an immediate impression. The entrance hallway is a standout feature, showcasing a striking natural stone feature wall, complemented by an elegant arched solid wood door and a staircase with traditional balustrading. The hallway also provides access to a useful cloakroom area for coats and shoes, along with a convenient downstairs WC.

The main living accommodation is spacious and well laid out, offering excellent flexibility. A large principal living room provides a superb space for both relaxing and entertaining, enhanced further by the continuation of the attractive stone feature wall. In addition, there is a separate lounge and a further family room, which could also be used as a fifth bedroom.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen/diner/snug area, designed to accommodate both everyday living and entertaining, with the added benefit of a separate utility room and internal access to a substantial double garage.

A particularly useful addition is the large maisonette-style bedroom, accessed via its own staircase and set away from the main living areas. This creates a private and peaceful space, ideal for use as a guest bedroom or home office.

To the first floor, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate double shower. Each room enjoys pleasant outlooks, contributing to the bright and airy feel throughout.

A key feature of the property is the self-contained two-bedroom annex, positioned to the left-hand side of the house. With its own independent access, this space is ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental use. The annex includes a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with a breakfast bar, flooded with natural light from full-height windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden.

Externally, the property is accessed via secure gates leading to a large paved driveway, providing ample off-street parking. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, offering a good level of privacy.

To the rear, the garden is designed for both practicality and enjoyment. A pergola with a paved patio area creates an ideal space for outdoor dining, complete with a pizza oven and dedicated BBQ area. There is also a productive allotment area, while the garden wraps around the entire property, making full use of its corner position. The plot has previously benefited from additional access from the road, further highlighting the potential for future development (subject to planning). Backing onto rugby fields and enjoying a south-facing aspect, the outdoor space offers both privacy and open views.

This is a rarely available home that combines space, flexibility, and future potential in one of Selby’s most sought-after locations.
