Description

A distinguished Grade II listed residence of considerable character and scale, occupying a substantial plot within the highly sought-after village of Huntington. Offering over three floors of beautifully proportioned accommodation, together with a detached double garage, useful outbuildings and mature wraparound gardens, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark family home on the edge of York. An elegant arched glazed entrance opens into a welcoming central reception hall, setting the tone for the wealth of period charm found throughout the home. Decorative arched detailing, reflected in many of the property's windows, enhances the architectural appeal and creates a wonderful sense of character. To the west elevation, both the family room and principal sitting room enjoy delightful views across the gardens through an abundance of natural light-filled windows. Each room is centred around an attractive feature fireplace and complemented by bespoke fitted cabinetry, creating warm and inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining alike. The formal dining room provides a sophisticated setting for hosting family gatherings and dinner parties, featuring elegant sash windows and traditional dado rail detailing. The spacious kitchen is well-appointed with an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and a practical peninsula island, offering excellent preparation and storage space. Adjacent is a useful utility room with a walk-in pantry, ensuring practicality for modern family living. A dedicated study provides an ideal home-working environment, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. The first floor hosts five generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom and second bedroom are particularly impressive, both benefitting from attractive walk-in bay windows and built-in storage. These rooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room. A secondary staircase leads to the second floor, where three additional bedrooms offer highly flexible accommodation, perfectly suited for larger families, guest suites, hobbies or further home office space. Outside The property sits within mature gardens that wrap around the house, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established trees and fencing, creating a private and peaceful setting. An attached outbuilding provides valuable storage, while the detached double garage and extensive driveway offer ample parking for multiple vehicles. New Lane was created with the imagination of Walter Henry Brierley (1862–1926) who was a York architect who practised in the city for 40 years. He is known as the "Lutyens of the North". He is also credited with being a leading exponent of the "Wrenaissance" style - incorporating elements of Christopher Wren. Brierley's works include civic buildings, churches, schools and private houses (including his own home, Bishopsbarns) and are located mainly in York, North Yorkshire and the north of England. He was responsible for over 300 buildings between 1885 and the time of his death in 1926. He was the architect for the York Diocese. Location Huntington remains one of York's most desirable residential locations, combining village charm with excellent amenities and superb connectivity to the city centre. The village offers a comprehensive range of everyday amenities, including local shops, a pharmacy and medical facilities. Further retail and leisure opportunities can be found at nearby Monks Cross and Vangarde Shopping Park, home to an extensive selection of national retailers including Marks & Spencer. For recreation and fitness, York Leisure Centre at Monks Cross provides a modern gym, swimming pool, sports hall and Clip 'n Climb adventure centre. Additional sporting facilities are available in nearby New Earswick, including tennis, cricket, football, rugby and swimming amenities. Golf enthusiasts are particularly well catered for, with Heworth, Forest Park and Fulford Golf Clubs all within easy reach. The area is highly regarded for its educational provision, with Huntington Primary School, Huntington Secondary School and Joseph Rowntree School all located nearby. Excellent transport connections include regular bus services into York city centre, approximately 2.4 miles away. York offers a rich blend of cultural, historic and leisure attractions, including renowned restaurants, theatres, independent retailers and the famous York Racecourse. York Railway Station provides regular direct services to major destinations including London King's Cross, Manchester and Edinburgh, with some London journeys taking under two hours, making the property an ideal choice for commuters seeking a balance of countryside character and city accessibility.
