Extending to approx. 750 sq ft, the kitchen is beautifully appointed in a classic Shaker style with quartz work surfaces, a substantial central island and breakfast bar, and an excellent range of integrated appliances including a Neff double steam oven, induction hob and Quooker boiling water tap.

A generous utility room, complete with extensive storage, an oversized sink and a walk-in pantry, providing practical space and complementing the kitchen.
The first floor is arranged around the impressive galleried landing and comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a beautifully finished family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom suite enjoys lovely views across the gardens and includes a walk-in dressing room, air conditioning and a en suite shower room with twin wash basins and a spacious walk-in shower.
A particular feature of York Lodge is the self-contained annexe, offering flexible accommodation ideal for guests, multi-generational living or those seeking independent workspace.
