It might just be a chocoholic's sugar-induced fantasy, but rumour has it that this attractive village property was built in 1830 for one of York's famous Rowntree clan. Newly-renovated and comprehensively updated throughout, Roselea at 15 Main Street, Wilberfoss, between York and Pocklington, is offered by Stephensons (01904 625533) at a guide price of £192,000.
A long entrance hall with a beamed ceiling and a deep walk-in understairs cupboard leads through to a cloakroom with WC, a sitting room with a feature fireplace incorporating old wooden beams, a dining room with stripped pine cupboards, a study overlooking the sun patio, and a good-sized breakfast kitchen with a built-in double oven, hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
Up on the first floor, a spacious L-shaped landing takes you on to an attractive Victorian-style bathroom, a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and three further bedrooms, two of which are doubles.
The property sits right on the main street of this increasingly- popular village, across the road from the Village Hall and the War Memorial.
Off-street parking is available on a gravelled driveway at the back of the house, alongside the mainly south-westerly facing garden. Here you will find a private paved sun patio, a shaped lawn, and a brick-built store, all surrounded by a high timber fence.
In other words, the perfect place to sit back, relax and chill out.
If you regard Wilberfoss as a tasty retreat but £192,000 is a little rich for your pocket, Stephensons is also offering 30b Main Street, a modern double-fronted detached house, for £134,500. On the ground floor are an entrance hall, a shower room, a lounge with a marble and mahogany fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen with a useful pantry, a playroom and a conservatory.
The accommodation is completed on the first floor by a bathroom and three bedrooms, one of which has deep walk-in wardrobes.
The house, which comes complete with an attached garage, is set back from the road in mature gardens with shaped lawns, a paved sun patio, a pond, a lockable store, a shed and a greenhouse.
Finally, for those of you with even shallower pockets, Hunters has 2 Windmill Meadows in Wilberfoss on its books for £86,500.
This well-presented bungalow, offered with vacant possession, has a cloakroom with WC, an open plan lounge/dining room, a modern fitted kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms.
