Garmancarr Lane, Wistow

Set along a quiet, charming street in the heart of Wistow, Wisteria Cottage is a wonderful family home which blends the space and modern features of a recently built home with the charm and character of a country cottage. Behind its welcoming timber porch is approximately 1,282 sq ft of living space over three floors, including three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a remarkably spacious lounge. It offers young families room to grow while keeping the appeal of village life close to home.

The lounge is a real highlight. At almost 20 feet long, it has space for the entire family to enjoy. Cosy enough for nights around the TV, but with plenty of play space too. The wood burner provides a fantastic focal point, making this a room to enjoy just as much on winter evenings as on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Double doors lead through to the kitchen and dining space at the rear, allowing the ground floor to work equally well for family life and for entertaining.

The kitchen has a range of integrated appliances, units and worktop space, making it as practical as it is stylish. The adjoining dining area gives the family a dedicated place for meals, homework and entertaining friends, turning this space into a true social hub of the home.

French doors open directly onto the rear patio, making it easy to take dinner outside in warmer weather or keep an eye on children playing in the garden. A separate utility room helps keep laundry and everyday clutter out of the main living areas, while a ground floor WC is especially useful in a busy family home.

On the first floor, the generously sized principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. The second bedroom is another substantial double, currently arranged as a child’s room and showing how comfortably the house can accommodate growing children. A family bathroom serves this floor also. Upstairs, the third bedroom offers a further double room with the benefit of added privacy and useful storage, which may well appeal to older children and teenagers seeking the feeling of more independence. If a third bedroom is not required, it could also be put to use as a fabulous, self-contained office, set apart from the rest of the house.

The enclosed rear garden has been planned with family life in mind. Its high-quality artificial lawn provides an inviting place to play without weekends spent mowing and tending to the grass, while the paved patio has room for outdoor seating and dining. To the front, off-street parking makes arrivals home with shopping bags, school bags and children that bit easier.

Wistow gives families more than an attractive village setting. Wistow Parochial Church of England Primary School is within very easy walking distance, and local spaces include the village green and the play area at Jubilee Hall. The Black Swan offers a village pub, while nearby Selby provides a wider choice of shops and services. Garmancarr Lane’s peaceful, cottage-lined setting brings those village benefits together with a home that has the room and flexibility that families require as they grow.

For buyers hoping to find a characterful three-bedroom home without compromising on bedroom sizes or everyday practicality, Wisteria Cottage demands your attention.
