5 bed detached house for sale

York Road, Cliffe, Selby YO8

An exceptional choice for growing families or multi-generational households, this thoughtfully extended home delivers both space and versatility in equal measure. Set on a generous plot with captivating open views, it’s a rare find with further scope to adapt. Viewing is essential.

Perfectly balancing rural charm with contemporary design, this beautifully renovated home is presented to an excellent standard throughout. The large entrance hallway creates a bright and welcoming first impression and includes a convenient downstairs W/C & shower. At the heart of the home is a lovely and spacious kitchen, fitted with a gas range cooker, a large kitchen island with a breakfast bar for stools, and ample storage all throughout, all set beneath soft lighting. The warm wooden worktops and open shelving crafted from reclaimed scaffolding planks, blend rustic charm with modern practicality. The layout flows into an extension, that overlooks the garden which is currently used as an additional snug and formal dining space, making this area ideal for entertaining or relaxed family time in summer months. The generous main lounge is a standout feature, with a log burner creating a cosy focal point and large windows that make the most of the natural light.

A well-sized utility room, adjacent to the kitchen, offers practical space for laundry and storage. It also links directly to an extended section of the property which has been thoughtfully designed to allow for future conversion into a self-contained annexe. The space could incorporate a staircase leading to the first floor, where a part of the large master suite could be partitioned off to create independent living accommodation. This would be ideal for extended family, guests, or even a live-in carer.

Upstairs, five bedrooms offer flexible space for growing families. The principal suite is a real highlight, set beneath a vaulted ceiling with open views across the rear fields. This exceptional space includes a dressing area and a contemporary en suite bathroom complete with walk in shower, storage unit with double sink on top, and a stand-alone bath positioned perfectly to take in the surrounding countryside. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned and bright, with access to a shared modern family bathroom. Whether you're planning for teenagers, guests, or a home office, each room has its own appeal and function.

An additional feature of this thoughtfully designed home is the spacious mezzanine-style landing, which adds a sense of openness and architectural interest to the upstairs layout. Overlooking the entrance hallway below, this light-filled space creates a striking connection between the two floors and is finished with a beautiful oak bannister that adds warmth and character. Off the landing, there is also a separate room currently used as a study, offering a quiet, private spot for home working, reading, with further extra storage area. Whether needed for practical use or simply as a peaceful corner away from the main living spaces, this versatile area adds yet more flexibility to this already well-planned family home.

The outdoor space is just as impressive, with the entire property sitting on approximately 0.3 acres. The large garden is mostly laid to lawn with a patio area for seating and dining, offering open views across fields that fill with golden light in the evenings — a feature that inspired the name Sundown. It’s a peaceful and secure space, ideal for children, pets, or summer entertaining. There is also a double garage for storage or parking, and a generous driveway that easily accommodates multiple vehicles. With the potential annexe already part-designed and flexible internal space throughout, this home delivers a rare combination of style, size and futureproofed practicality.

Located in the sought-after village of Cliffe, to the south of York, the property offers a balance between peaceful rural living and easy access to essential amenities. The village itself has a strong community feel with a local shop, well-regarded primary school, and easy access to open countryside. For a wider range of shops, schools, and services, Selby is only a short drive away, while the historic city of York is easily reached by car or public transport, making daily commuting practical. The area is served by good road links and rail services, with fast routes to Leeds, Doncaster and even London. For families, excellent schooling options are available locally, and the surrounding open land is ideal for cycling, walking, or simply enjoying nature. Sundown is a premium home offering the rare chance to enjoy large, flexible accommodation with countryside views, all within reach of excellent transport and local services.
