4 bed detached house for sale

Kilburn, York, North Yorkshire YO61

An attractive stone house on the edge of a picturesque North Yorkshire village with open views.

Description
South View has been in the same family ownership for circa 60 years but is now available for the next generation to put their own stamp on it. Now empty and ready for a degree of renovation and refurbishment, this blank canvas provides an ideal opportunity to create a wonderful rural retreat with mature garden and beautiful backdrop.

The existing floor area is about 2400 sq ft, with two principal reception rooms that face south, a good size kitchen and cloak room. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms (3 of them double) and a house bathroom. One of the features of the house are the Mouseman features, which include the staircase, doors, skirting boards and panelling. The house, subject to planning could be very easily re-modelled to extend the floor space and provide someone with the layout and rooms they require.

A particular highlight of South View is the beautiful garden and especially the rose beds and herbaceous borders which were a particular favourite of the owner. The garden faces south as the name suggests and extends some 120 ft from the house, providing scope for further landscaping and home office at the end if desired. There is ample off street parking for several cars and useful detached garage which could also fall into the refurbishment plans.

Location
Kilburn is a picture postcard North Yorkshire village that sits beneath the famous White Horse and is home to the world renowned furniture maker “The Mouseman“.
