5 bed detached house for sale

Bluebell Farm Court, Skipwith YO8

Welcome to Meadowside. This is one of those homes that just feels right.

Tucked away in a small and exclusive development of just four homes, it offers a wonderful sense of privacy, space and connection to the outdoors - something that’s becoming harder to find.

The current owners have thoughtfully extended and enhanced the property, creating over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully balanced living space that works effortlessly for modern family life.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a generous entrance hall, setting the tone for the space that follows.

To one side, the main sitting room runs the full depth of the house - a bright and elegant space with a window to the front and French doors opening onto the garden. It’s a room that works just as well for cosy evenings as it does for entertaining.

Across the hall is a second reception room, currently used as a snug, but equally ideal as a home office or playroom depending on how you want to live. But it’s the rear of the house where this home really comes into its own…

The extension has created a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family space -flooded with natural light and opening out onto the south facing garden through bifold doors. It’s the kind of space where everyone naturally gathers, whether for busy weekday mornings or relaxed evenings with friends.

The kitchen itself is beautifully finished, with bespoke shaker-style cabinetry, quartz worktops and a Rangemaster induction cooker - stylish yet practical, and very much the heart of the home. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room, a downstairs WC and internal access into the double garage -everything you need for day-to-day living.

Upstairs, the space continues.

A galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms, offering real flexibility for growing families, guests or working from home.

The principal bedroom stretches the full depth of the house and enjoys elevated views across open countryside along with its own en-suite. A second bedroom to the rear also benefits from an en-suite and those same beautiful views, with three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom completing the first floor.

Outside, the setting here is just as special as the house itself.

To the front, there’s a generous driveway with space for multiple vehicles, along with a double garage. To the rear, the garden is a real highlight.

A private and tranquil space with a lovely sense of seclusion, it’s easy to imagine life here entertaining friends, children and pets running freely, or in years to come, grandchildren visiting and making memories of their own.

There are several seating areas to enjoy throughout the day, and beyond the garden, the views are simply stunning.

Skipwith is a charming and picturesque village with a strong sense of community, surrounded by beautiful countryside and just moments from Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve perfect for walking, fresh air and everyday escape.
