Southolme Drive, York

An impressive semi-detached family home which has been sympathetically extended into the loft to provide spacious second floor accommodation. Situated in a charming residential street within strolling distance of York City Centre, the property benefits from an abundance of natural light flow and wonderful views of the surrounding area, including an enviable sight of York Minster.

Having been well looked after and updated throughout by our vendor, this home offers flexible accommodation and the added benefit of a thoughtfully executed loft conversion. Creating an ideal family environment, the property is the perfect space for making many happy memories.

Upon entering through the arched front porch by way of the upvc door with glass panes either side, you are welcomed into the bright entrance hall which presents the staircase to the first floor, with useful under-the-stairs storage cupboard, and doors leading to the ground floor accommodation.

Boasting a large bow window, the principal reception room is found to the front elevation of the property and offers a spacious sitting room with feature fireplace, creating an inviting room to relax in. The living room opens through into a second light and airy reception room; this area currently provides an inviting dining room with French doors opening onto the beautifully presented rear garden.

Found to the rear elevation of the property is the previously extended kitchen which comprises a range of grey wall and base fitted units and black marble worktops with black and white ceramic tiled splashback. The kitchen has ample storage cupboards, an oven, five-ring gas stove and space and plumbing for additional appliances, such as washing machine and fridge freezer.

Elevating to the first floor, you'll appreciate the generous size of the three well-proportioned bedrooms and the contemporary family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are considerably sized double bedrooms, one of which features a bow window to the front. The third single bedroom is a versatile space, currently used as a home office or could also provide a wonderful nursery room.

Comprising a three-piece white suite of a panel bath with rainfall shower over, hand wash basin and low flush WC, the house bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Our vendor has thoughtfully converted the loft space in the property, which now acts as multi-purpose living space which could be easily adapted to suit any buyer's desires. The main area of the loft conversion offers a vast open space which could be used as a further sitting room or bedroom, benefitting from stunning views through the triple window or Velux roof light. Another room in the loft space is a versatile space, currently used as a home office, but could alternately be used as a further bedroom or even transformed into an en-suite, creating a magnificent master suite.

Every room within the property is flooded with natural light flow through carefully placed windows, creating a bright and warm home with a lovely atmosphere throughout.

Accessed either from the French doors of the dining room or the side door from the kitchen, the rear garden has a plethora of attractive features, including a decked patio area, stone flagged path and patio to the side, low-maintenance lawn and surrounding well-stocked beds. Facing South, the garden is perfectly struck by the sun and creates a tranquil oasis to relax in and enjoy.

The exterior of the house shows off the 1930s charm through standout features including the traditional bay-front. Found to the front of the property is a stone-flagged driveway which provides off-street parking and leads to a wooden gated fence into the rear garden. The front garden has been lovingly cared for and boasts an admirable range of mature shrubs and bushes.

Situated in the sought-after residential neighbourhood of Rawcliffe, the property is perfect for families as well as a range of other buyers. As the property is located just under two miles away from York City Centre, you can enjoy a stroll into the centre or alternatively make use of the great bus routes from this area. Great access to the A19 and A64 also adds to the great position of the home, allowing for easy transport to surrounding villages and further afield. Crucially, families can find nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools nearby.
