4 bed detached house for sale

Ringshall House, Sand Hutton, York YO41

Perfect for buyers with vision—this rare opportunity is ideal for families seeking a spacious forever home or someone looking to renovate a character-rich property. With no onward chain and a layout full of potential, early viewing is strongly recommended.

Originally three cottages dating back to the early 1800s and later combined into one generous residence, this unique period home offers over 2,500 square feet of living accommodation set within a peaceful and sought-after village. Its versatile layout includes multiple reception rooms filled with natural light, providing flexible options for family living, entertaining, or working from home. The kitchen/diner offers scope to be reimagined into a large, open-plan heart of the home overlooking the beautiful rear garden. Several reception rooms allow for a variety of uses, from a formal dining space to a cosy lounge or playroom. High ceilings, exposed beams, and original character details add warmth and depth throughout the home.

The property comprises four spacious double bedrooms, each offering pleasant views and a quiet place to unwind. The family bathroom is currently functional but would benefit from updating, presenting a real chance to design something tailored to personal taste. Outside, the large garden is a key highlight—stretching out to open fields, it’s ideal for children to play, for keen gardeners, or even the possibility of adding a studio, annexe or pool (subject to planning). The home sits on a generous plot, giving it that rare combination of privacy, tranquillity, and potential. A double garage and double width driveway provide ample parking for several vehicles. The property is freehold, and not listed and represents a genuine chance to shape a substantial and historic rural home to suit modern needs.

Located in the quiet village of Sand Hutton, the property benefits from a lovely rural feel while still being within easy reach of York. Families will appreciate proximity to well-regarded local schools, including Sand Hutton CE Primary School, while investors will note the appeal of a strong local rental market. There are regular transport links into York by road, making commuting straightforward. The village community is friendly and well-established, with scenic walks, nearby pubs, and a sense of peaceful seclusion—ideal for those looking to enjoy countryside living without sacrificing connectivity.

Please note the property uses oil fired heating and has a septic tank.
