Jays Croft, Cat Lane, York, YO23 3PN

David Beattie, powered by eXp is proud to present this exceptional five bedroom family home in Bilbrough, built around the thing most growing families actually need: Space, in the right configuration.

And yes, we'll say it now rather than let you find out on the doorstep, the front elevation won't win any beauty contests. But this is a house that's all about what's inside, not what's outside.

This one's been extended and reconfigured with real thought.

The garage is now a ground floor bedroom with its own ensuite; useful for a grandparent, a returning adult child, or anyone who wants their own patch away from the rest of the house.

Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, and the top floor is given over entirely to a principal suite with its own ensuite and views over open countryside.

Downstairs is built for a family that actually uses its space.

The kitchen is open plan with bifold doors onto the garden, there's a separate living room, a snug, and a study if someone needs to shut the door and work.

Three reception rooms plus a kitchen diner means nobody's fighting over the sofa.

Outside, established gardens, a patio, and a summer house that could earn its keep as a gym, office or teenage retreat. Driveway parking for several cars at the front.

Bilbrough is a proper village, with countryside on the doorstep, and the A64 putting York, Leeds and Harrogate all within easy reach.

If you've outgrown your current house and you need one that works hard for a big family, this is worth a look. Quote DB18357 when you call.
