Set in the friendly village of Murton on York’s outskirts, this spacious holiday home sits within easy reach of the A64, making it an excellent base for exploring both city and countryside. Ideal for a gathering of friends or family, this five-bedroom detached property is arranged over two floors, combining character details with modern styling and an acre of gardens.
A welcoming hallway leads into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, where a well-equipped kitchen sits alongside a generous dining table suited to group meals and sociable evenings. The adjoining lounge is bright and inviting, with exposed beams, a wood burner and a full wall of glazing looking out over the garden. On the ground floor, there is a twin bedroom with patio doors leading outside and its own WC, plus a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, accessed via a characterful narrow staircase with a turn, are three further bedrooms: two doubles and a king-size, all individually styled. A family bathroom with both bath and shower completes the upper floor. Outside, there’s extensive gardens extending to around an acre, with open views across the Yorkshire Wolds. A covered outdoor entertaining area includes cooking facilities, a wine fridge and additional refrigeration. The grounds include mature planting, cherry trees, lawned areas and outdoor play equipment for younger guests. Please note the property is adjacent to a working farm, so dogs must be kept under control. Private parking for two cars is available, with additional on-street parking subject to availability.
