We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A charming semi-detached period cottage-style village house offering flexible accommodation with the potential to return to 3 bedrooms, with 2 reception rooms and a farmhouse style fitted kitchen.
The property overlooks its own delightful gardens, and benefits from a detached garage and off street parking.
The property is approached via a private block paved driveway that leads to the detached brick built garage and takes you beyond the adjoining house and into the delightful lawned gardens.
An entrance porch with windows to three sides, leads into the wonderful farmhouse style kitchen which is fitted with a bespoke range of wooden wall and base units with luxury granite worktops, an electric range cooker with an induction hob, an integrated dishwasher, tiled floor, ceiling downlighters and space by the window for a dining table and chairs.
Off the kitchen is a utility room with spaces for a fridge/freezer, a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
To the side is a cloakroom/WC and a doorway through to the dual aspect family room which is a lovely room with French doors opening onto the rear garden.
The other side of the kitchen is the spacious lounge which is a comfortable room with two windows, a beamed ceiling, wood effect laminate flooring, and a charming exposed brick fireplace with a large wood burning stove.
Stairs from the lounge lead up to the first floor landing, bedroom 2 and the house bathroom/WC which has a shower over the spa bath, a WC, bidet, wash hand basin, tiled walls and floor.
The large central room was formerly bedroom 3, however, the current owners removed the dividing wall to make a superb additional reception room.
However, the floorplan shows a dotted line where the wall used to be and this could easily be re-instated.
Beyond this room is the principal bedroom which has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room/WC. There are two loft spaces.
The property has gas central heating, double glazing and an energy performance rating (EPC) of D.
The south and east facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and has a patio seating area, planted borders, mature trees and hedging.
The detached garage has power, water and an electric up and over door.
Church Lane is a cul de sac in the heart of Strensall and the village offers a good range of facilities within walking distance including a Tesco Express, Boots the Chemist, Café, a modern doctors surgery, a dentist and three pubs.
There are miles of delightful walks on Strensall Common which is also home to the York Golf Club. Council Tax Band D. 2025/2026 - Approx.
