Wydale Road, Osbaldwick, York, YO10

Set in the sought-after area of Osbaldwick, this extended two-bedroom semi-detached home offers surprisingly spacious accommodation, excellent off-street parking and a fantastic garden studio, making it a home that should appeal to first-time buyers, couples and those looking for somewhere with useful additional space.

One of the standout features is the generous driveway to the front, providing off-street parking for up to four vehicles — a particularly useful and unusual feature for properties in this part of York. The front door opens into a practical entrance lobby, with plenty of room for coats and shoes, before leading into the bright and welcoming lounge. The front-facing window allows plenty of natural light into the room, while the staircase leads to the first floor.

To the rear, the property has been substantially extended to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space. This is a real highlight of the home, with a beautiful log burner providing a focal point, while bi-fold doors open onto the garden and a lantern roof window floods the room with natural light. The kitchen, with granite worktops, offers plenty of storage, room for an American-style fridge freezer, electric oven and hob with extractor, and dishwasher.

A useful side extension completed less than 5 years ago provides a separate laundry/utility room with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a downstairs WC. The utility room also has a door providing access to the side garden.

Upstairs are two genuine double bedrooms. The larger bedroom is positioned at the front of the property, while the rear bedroom benefits from useful built-in storage space. The family bathroom completes the first floor and is fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, the fully enclosed rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, with artificial grass, paved borders and raised beds. A well-insulated home studio with water, electricity and lighting, offers plenty of flexibility. Whether you need a home office, craft or hobby room, gym, beauty salon or simply somewhere to escape to, this is a genuinely useful addition to the property.

The location is another major attraction. There are several well regarded primary schools within walking distance including Osbaldwick, Lord Deramore's, Badger Hill and St Aelred's Catholic Primary School, while the property falls within the catchment area for Archbishop Holgate's School for secondary education. There are also local playing fields, amenities and regular bus services into York city centre close by.

Situated approximately two miles east of York's historic Bar Walls, Osbaldwick is popular with both first-time buyers and families. Hull Road and the A1079 are easily accessible, with onward connections to the A64 outer ring road making the property well placed for commuters.

The sellers are now upsizing and are looking for their next home, giving the successful buyer the opportunity to make this well-presented and thoughtfully extended property their own.
