Sold Stockton Lane, York, YO31

A stunning and substantial period house with a charming rear garden, in a sought after position on the edge of the city.

The design and layout of the property is representative of the many fine houses built at that time and provides quite exceptional and extensive accommodation. Internally, there are a great number of period architectural features that include stain glass windows, moulded plasterwork, cornices and arches, door-cases with architraves and deep skirting boards and picture rails to many of the rooms.

The present owners have undertaken a comprehensive and sympathetic refurbishment with great attention to detail and design, offering a superb balance of period features and contemporary touches.

The ground floor accommodation includes an entrance hallway leading to a lounge of grand proportions, with an impressive fireplace, decorative cornicing and large bay window offering an abundance of natural light. This spacious living area was originally two rooms with a separate dining room; however the current owners opened the space which created a light and airy feel with a second aspect of light enjoyed at the south side with an attractive door and surround opening onto the rear garden.

A breakfast room with gas burning stove leads through to the stylish kitchen which has a full range of wood wall, base units and movable island/peninsular. In addition is a dual Belfast sink, range cooker with hob and extractor. Furthermore is a handy WC and French doors onto the patio.

On the first floor are four well proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish house bathroom and separate WC.

Externally the property is set proudly back at the front, whilst the large rear garden benefits form a southerly aspect. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature borders and fenced boundaries and a large patio to enjoy the summer sun. In addition, to the rear of the garden is a gate for ease of access from Lime Avenue. 

In summary, a truly impressive home that has been meticulously cared for and presented.

Choicely located on the renowned Stockton Lane 1.5 miles northeast of York city centre. Nearby Heworth Village has a charming range of shops and amenities, with the nearby Monk Stray offering recreational space. The property falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded Hempland Junior School.

From the inner ring road at Monk Bar proceed onto Monkgate to the roundabout. Take the second exit onto Heworth Green and upon reaching the next roundabout at the junction with Malton Road and Stockton Lane, take the second exit onto Stockton Lane. The property is situated on the right hand side after the turning for Chestnut Avenue.

Elkie was absolutely brilliant from start to finish

I recently bought a house through Lancaster Samms.  My estate agent was Elkie. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. An absolute joy to deal with, so much so I would now consider her a friend.  She was so professional keeping me in the loop of a very long probate sale.

Over the course of many months, Elkie met me at the house several times so that I could organise the future renovation work. She was always happy to help.
House buying can be overwhelming sometimes however Elkie always made me feel calm and she was a pleasure to work with.

I am now the owner of the house that I fell in love with on day one. I couldn’t be happier!

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family

Just sold my late mums bungalow with Elkie from Lancaster Samms.

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family. Would 100% recommend using them .
Thank you once again Elkie for going over and beyond to make the selling process stress free.

Mrs V Clint

We felt like we were Elkie's only customers

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Elkie at Lancaster Samms for the highest standard of customer service she provided during our sale.

We had the smoothest, no stress sale you could possibly have wanted, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Elkie lead us through the whole process from beginning to end with ease.  She was always contactable, never left us hanging and kept us updated throughout, no matter how small the detail.  She answered all our questions, no matter how trivial.

We highly recommend Elkie and Lancaster Samms as the Estate Agents to go to.

Lancaster Samms are pure gold.

A good estate agent is like gold dust – rare, hard to find but extremely valuable.

Lancaster Samms are pure gold. Professional, timely, proactive, trustworthy and a million miles apart from your ‘typical’ estate agents. I would absolutely use them again. Special mention to Elkie, our closer, who is the Ray Donovan of the York real estate community i.e. a professional fixer. I imagine a significant number of conveyancing transactions have completed only because of her expertise in helping sellers (and buyers) navigate an often frustrating process.

 

Mr M Peacock

We consider Lancaster Samms the gold standard

Having worked with a number of estate agents over the years, we consider Lancaster Samms the gold standard. We bought a house with Elkie, who was extraordinarily dedicated, efficient and reliable throughout.

 

We had an extremely difficult sale on our side and the chain was in danger of collapse more than once, but it was Elkie’s care and attention that held everything together for us and for her clients.

We are eternally grateful and would never go anywhere else now!
