Hobgate, York - £625,000 - Freehold

Ashtons Estate Agents is proud to offer this three bedroom much loved detached family home with traditionally light and proportioned rooms and very extensive gardens in Hobgate.

Hobgate is a wonderfully leafy and peaceful haven within the Holgate area of York, a short distance from the city walls and close to the open green areas of Hob Moor and the Knavesmire. The properties here date from the 1930s, a unique collection of fine family homes constructed to a high standard by a celebrated York builder of the time.

This delightful residence is just over a mile from the city walls and mainline train station. It is within walking distance to excellent state and independent schools and primary and secondary education are within safe cycling distances. Local and independent shops and amenities are on the doorstep as well as regular buses into and around the city. The outer ring road and A59 and A64 are close by for travel further afield.

Stepping into the bright and spacious entrance hall the property consists of a substantial living room and dining room separated by partition doors to allow for a versatile open space for entertaining or individual use. The traditional bay window to the front of the property and the French patio doors to the rear invite the natural light to filter through the room, creating a desirable and pleasant sense of calm. The tiled 1930’s fire place is a charming focal point to complement the space. The kitchen is accessed from the entrance hall and has an array of wall and base units with the added benefit of a separate pantry and external outhouse.

The potential to extend or adjoin the rooms for modern day living is endless. It is a complete blank canvas, yet can be lived in immediately due to many basic improvements which have been done over recent years, including full electrical rewiring & central heating installation in 2005 and more recently in 2020 a new energy efficient combi boiler, new kitchen, carpets and flooring. Other refurbishments include new windows throughout, new soffits, fascias and downpipes. High quality replacement perimeter fence and bay window and entrance porch roof replacements. Also the large attic space has been fully insulated and boarded throughout.

To the first floor is a separate WC, neutrally decorated bathroom with white suite and a shower over the bath. There are two generously sized double bedrooms and a larger than usual, third bedroom. The primary bedroom to the front of the property has a large traditional bay window bathing the room with light and creating a tranquil and relaxing ambiance to unwind.

Externally to the front of the property is an elongated drive offering additional off street parking in front of the separate brick-built garage with traditional and attractive rosemary tiles. The front garden area is lawned with a low wall and private mature hedge. To the rear the lengthy 100ft south facing private garden offers endless possibilities to landscape and extend to your hearts content. Currently there is a patio area for alfresco dinning and your morning coffee and a perfectly positioned summer house for a cosy sanctuary as well as a storage hut.

In summary a wonderful three bedroomed home, ready to move in to and yet offering major scope for extended living (subject to planning permission) without taking anything away from the charm and character of its own and neighbouring properties. A viewing is a must.
