Escape to a beautifully appointed holiday getaway in Murton, a welcoming village on the outskirts of York and perfectly placed near the A64 for exploring in every direction. Enjoy the charm of rural life with the Yorkshire Farming Museum in the village, a friendly pub in nearby Derwenthorpe, and the popular Balloon Tree farm shop and pick‑your‑own close by, while York’s Park & Ride is just a short drive away for effortless trips into the historic city centre (3.5 miles). Discover York’s medieval streets, the immersive Jorvik Viking Centre (4 miles), and the vibrant Shambles Market (3.5 miles), or indulge in retail therapy at York Designer Outlet (5.5 miles). Further afield, explore the magnificent Castle Howard (14.5 miles) and the scenic Howardian Hills (15.5 miles), head to the coast or the North York Moors, or enjoy family favourites like York Maze, Piglets Adventure Park (1.5 miles) and the Derwent Valley Railway steam train (0.75 miles).
Step into the welcoming hallway of this exquisite five‑bedroom detached home, where charm, character and stylish elegance unfold across two beautifully appointed floors. The heart of the house is the spacious open‑plan kitchen/diner, complete with a well‑equipped kitchen and a dining area perfect for relaxed family meals, while the spacious lounge offers a window wall overlooking the garden, beams and a cosy log burner for snug evenings in. On the ground floor, you’ll find a twin bedroom with its own WC and patio doors leading straight out to the garden, along with a comfortable double bedroom featuring an ensuite shower room. Upstairs, reached via a narrow staircase with a turn that adds to the property’s character, are two further double bedrooms and a king‑size room, all tastefully decorated and thoughtfully designed for a restful night’s sleep. The main bathroom completes the first floor, offering both a bath and a shower — perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Outside, the property opens onto an impressive acre of gardens, offering far‑reaching views over the rolling Wolds and the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful sunrise. Guests can make the most of the superb undercover outdoor entertaining and kitchen area, complete with a wine fridge, a small fridge with ice box and a grill, ideal for relaxed al fresco dining. Children will love the selection of ride‑on toys and outdoor play items, while the expansive lawn, mature shrubs, colourful flower beds and cherry trees create a wonderfully tranquil setting. Please note, the property neighbours a working farm, so dogs must be kept on leads or not left unattended due to livestock in the surrounding fields. As you approach the front of the property, you'll find convenient private parking for two cars with additional on street parking (subject to availability).
