5 Bed Semi-Detached House For Sale Jacksons Walk, York, YO23

A striking six bedroomed period property, recently converted to a very high standard, set within a peaceful parkland setting.

The Carriage House was built by Sir Andrew Fairburn in 1880 as part of the principal accommodation for his estate manager and family. In 2015, the properties were converted and reconfigured to create five individually designed homes, set against the tranquil backdrop of surrounding private parkland.

Situated at the end of a tree-lined private driveway which meanders through the parkland, the properties immediately impress with their original distinguishing features and unique character.

This sensitively converted property offers over 4000 square feet of spacious modern living, seamlessly integrated with period character. The generously proportioned rooms and flexible layout cater to a variety of family sizes and age groups. The current owners have carried out thoughtful improvements to the house which include a beautifully designed kitchen, light-enhancing Crittall doors, hand-built wardrobes utilising original materials, and stylish neutral décor throughout.
