This home offers a great opportunity for someone ready to modernise and put their own stamp on a property.

The accommodation has a practical layout, with the living spaces flowing from the front of the house through to the garden at the rear.

The entrance opens into a good size central hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and doors lead into the main ground-floor rooms.

At the front is a comfortable living room with a wide bay window bringing in plenty of natural light.

A fireplace creates a focal point, while the simple shape of the room makes it easy to arrange with sofas and other furniture.

Moving through the house, the dining room provides a generous second reception space with room for a family dining table.

This room has been extended to the rear, creating additional living space and giving the room a bright outlook over the garden.

French doors open directly onto the patio, providing a natural connection between the dining area and outside.

The extended space could be used for extra seating, making it a flexible room for family meals, relaxing and entertaining.

The galley kitchen sits alongside the dining room and is accessed from the hallway.

It currently has a range of fitted cupboards, work surfaces and space for appliances, with a window bringing in natural light.

The kitchen requires updating, giving the next owner the chance to choose their own style and finish. A rear door also provides convenient access outside.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the bedrooms and house shower room.

The main bedroom is a good-sized room with useful fitted storage, while the second bedroom also provides comfortable space for a double bed and additional furniture.

The third bedroom would work well as a child's room, nursery or home office.

The current bathroom facilities include a shower cubicle and wash basin with a storage cupboard, together with a separate WC.

This area also offers scope for modernisation and may give a buyer the opportunity to rethink the arrangement to better suit their needs.

Outside, a driveway runs along the side of the house under a car port and continues towards the rear, providing useful off-street parking and access to the detached garage.

The rear garden is arranged with a generous paved patio and lawn, with established planting and fruit trees adding greenery.

French doors from the dining room create a good connection between indoors and outside, while the patio offers plenty of room for seating and summer dining.

Existing greenhouse structures provide further potential for keen gardeners or could form part of a wider garden makeover.

The property is set within the established residential area of Heworth, close to Stockton Lane and within easy reach of the wider amenities of York.

Local shops and everyday services can be found around the surrounding area, while York city centre offers a much broader choice of shopping, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and attractions.

Families can also find a choice of schools and childcare options within Heworth and the surrounding parts of York, although buyers should always check current admissions and catchment information directly with the relevant schools and City of York Council.

Road and public transport connections make the area practical for travelling around York, while York railway station provides mainline services to destinations across the country.

For buyers looking for a project with no onward chain, the combination of established living space, garden, driveway and garage creates an appealing starting point.
