4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Forest Grove, York YO31

Offering plenty of space for family life, this extended home has a practical layout with two separate reception areas, a useful utility room, garage and flexible bedroom space. The property could benefit from updating throughout, giving the next owners a great opportunity to put their own ideas into the rooms and create a home that suits their style and needs.

The entrance hall provides access to the main ground floor rooms and the stairs to the first floor. At the front is a reception room currently being used as a dining space, where a wide bay window brings plenty of natural light into the room. This could also make a comfortable sitting room, television room or a quieter space away from the main family living area.

To the rear is a second reception room arranged as a lounge overlooking the garden. Doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between the house and outside space. This works particularly well for families with children and for summer meals or entertaining friends.

The kitchen is positioned alongside the rear reception room and is fitted with a range of white units, work surfaces, an integrated oven and hob. A window above the sink looks out towards the rear garden and brings good natural light into the room. While the kitchen is ready for a new owner to update to their own taste, its position and layout provide a practical starting point.

From the kitchen there is access into the extended utility room, giving the home valuable extra working and storage space. This is ideal for keeping laundry, coats, shoes and other everyday family items away from the main kitchen. The utility room also has access outside and connects directly with the garage. The garage provides useful storage and practical space, while the driveway to the front gives the property off-street parking.

Upstairs is where the extension has made an important difference to the original layout. The home now provides four double bedrooms. Two of the double bedrooms sit to the front, with one enjoying a bay window that adds character and brings plenty of daylight into the room. To the rear is another well-proportioned double bedroom, while the bedroom that would traditionally have been the smaller third room at the front has been extended into the space above the garage. This creates a much larger and more versatile double bedroom, rather than the smaller room often found in homes of this style.

The family bathroom is arranged off the landing and includes a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is one of the home's most appealing features. It offers plenty of room for children to play while still leaving space for adults to sit and enjoy the garden. There are lawned and planted areas, mature shrubs and borders, a greenhouse and paved areas that can be used for outdoor furniture.

The established garden has a lovely traditional feel and provides plenty of scope for anyone who enjoys gardening. Equally, a new owner could simplify the space over time to create a larger lawn, play area or low-maintenance family garden. The paved area close to the house is well placed for a table and chairs, making it easy to enjoy meals outside during warmer weather. The garden backs onto Heworth CE Primary School making it nice and private, especially out of school times.

Heworth is a well-established part of York and is popular with families looking for a convenient place to settle while remaining within easy reach of the city. The immediate connection with Heworth CE Primary School is likely to be of particular interest to families, while there are further education choices within York and the surrounding area.

Everyday shops, services and amenities can be found around Heworth and nearby neighbourhoods, with York city centre providing a much wider choice of shops, places to eat, leisure facilities and cultural attractions. There are also green spaces and walking routes within the wider area, giving families useful options for getting outdoors.

Heworth is well placed for access into York city centre, with road and public transport links helping with everyday journeys. York railway station provides connections further afield, which may also appeal to buyers who commute or regularly travel for work.
