3 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Balk, Slingsby, York YO62

A newly renovated and extended detached bungalow offering bright and spacious accommodation, set in a large plot of approximately one quarter of an acre, with ample parking in a sought-after village location.

The Lodge enjoys a pleasant position within a generous quarter of an acre plot in the sought-after village of Slingsby, and dates from the 1950s. Over the last two years, the property has been substantially extended and comprehensively renovated to create an appealing home which is flooded with natural light.

The accommodation is arranged over a single floor, the centre piece of which is a stunning, triple aspect, open-plan dining kitchen with lantern roof light. The accommodation also includes a spacious sitting room with log burner and bay window, a useful boot room, inner hall, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms, a shower room and separate WC.

Recent improvements include electrical re-wiring, re-plumbing works, replacement windows and doors, a new roof, landscaping and all the usual cosmetic upgrades. It is also worth noting that there is planning consent in place to add a conservatory to the back of the kitchen extension.

The bungalow occupies a slightly elevated position and its plot of 0.25 acres allows for an abundance of parking and generous lawned gardens with stone flagged terrace, raised beds and mature shrubs, along with a new garden shed and summerhouse.

The village of Slingsby lies on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just north of the B1257 between Malton and Hovingham. The village benefits from an excellent pub, primary school, and Church. The nearby market town of Malton is some 6 miles east and has an array of shops, bars and leisure facilities, monthly food market, secondary school and railway station with regular services to the mainline station at York.

Outside

The Lodge occupies a slightly elevated site of approximately 0.25 acres. A lengthy driveway extends along one side of the plot, leading to a gravelled parking area. In addition, there are large gardens to both the front and rear, the majority of which is laid to lawn, along with a stone flagged terrace, raised vegetable beds and a range of specimen trees and shrubs. The newly erected timber garden shed and summer house are included on the sale. In our opinion there is still excellent scope to further extend the property, if required (subject to securing any necessary consents).
