5 bed detached house for sale

Wheeldale Drive, York YO32

A substantial and beautifully maintained five-bedroom detached family home, quietly tucked away off Hopgrove Lane South and ideally positioned between Heworth, Stockton on the Forest and Monks Cross. Having been cherished by the same owners for over 20 years, this impressive property offers spacious and versatile accommodation extending to over 1,800 sq ft, perfectly suited to modern family living.

Entering through the porch and reception hall, the layout immediately offers a welcoming and practical flow. The home retains a lovely sense of character, with original 1950s parquet flooring running through the hallway and principal living room, adding warmth and charm. To the front of the property is a cosy and elegant living room with feature fireplace, currently decorative but with the flue able to be reopened should a purchaser wish to install a log burner or open fire in the future. This room creates a comfortable retreat away from the main entertaining spaces.

Across the hallway, a further reception room provides excellent flexibility and could suit a second sitting room, playroom, home office or formal dining space depending on a buyer’s needs.

The true heart of the home lies to the rear, where the property opens into a stunning extended open-plan kitchen, dining and living area spanning over 25ft in width. Flooded with natural light from multiple windows and French doors overlooking the garden, this superb family space has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The shaker-style kitchen offers extensive worktop and storage space alongside a central island, while the seating and dining areas flow seamlessly out onto the patio and landscaped garden beyond. Oak herringbone-style flooring runs throughout this space, complementing the style of the home beautifully and connecting the old with the new. A separate utility room and ground floor WC further enhance the practicality of the home.

To the first floor are four generous double bedrooms alongside a fifth smaller room, ideal as a nursery, home office or single bedroom, offering flexibility for modern family requirements. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom with separate shower, while a second double bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a stylish and modern family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the property truly stands out with its mature, established and highly private south facing rear garden, beautifully landscaped with generous lawned areas, colourful planting, patio seating spaces and a superb pergola-covered entertaining area. The plot offers a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion, rarely found so conveniently close to York.

To the front, there is double driveway parking for multiple vehicles alongside a detached double garage, offering excellent practicality for families or those needing additional storage, workshop space or secure parking.

Situated within easy reach of Monks Cross shopping park, the outer ring road, A64 and York city centre, while also enjoying nearby countryside walks and village surroundings, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-loved family home in a discreet yet highly convenient location. Families will appreciate access to good local schools and nearby amenities including shops, supermarkets, and leisure options. The proximity to York means commuting is straightforward, whether by car or public transport, while countryside walks are just moments away. This combination of space, garden, and location makes it a brilliant choice for families looking to settle in a home that offers both practicality and comfort.
