4 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Main Road, Burn, Selby YO8 | £ 425,000

Property Description

Glide into laid-back rural living, in the historic village of Burn.

Discover Roseberry House, a home with a distinctive local history, tucked off the main road. Accessed from a back road leading to the local gliding club, traverse the daffodil-flocked driveway, lined by a pride of poplar trees, before reaching your private residence.

Welcome home.

An immediate sense of openness and light greets you as you step through the front door and into the spacious entrance hall.

Brimming with personality and history, immediately ahead is an internal glass window, a testament to the origins of Roseberry House as a wood-yard when it was built in 1897. Further original features serve to develop this richness of character; the ornate original cornicing and solid-wood bannisters on the staircase.

Past the staircase, discover the main sitting room to the right.

Bountiful and bright, this main lounge is the true hub of the home, with light flowing in through windows to three sides. Practically a perfect square, the useful geometry of this space (and indeed all the rooms at Roseberry House) offers great potential for organising your furniture in an array of configurations.

A room for every season and time of day, gather around the original wooden fireplace, now fitted with an efficient toasty log-burner. Overhead, the original ceiling rose houses an elegant chandelier, inkeeping with the ornate coving and enhancing the soft, neutral tones of the décor.

Admire the stained-glass windows, sympathetic to the Victorian heritage of Roseberry House, and gaze out to the wonderful views towards the poplar trees and Burn Airfield – built in 1942 for the World War Two bombers. These tall, pale-leafed trees are a feature of the village; lying quite flat the lines of poplars would help to guide the bombers home.

Owner quote: "Standing in the bay window you feel totally private and secluded, looking out over the countryside."

Why not enjoy some rest and relaxation in the snug lounge? A great family space that was once the office to the wood-yard business, the glazed internal section was originally a service hatchway where customers came to pay for their timber purchases.

Snuggle up in front of the living flame gas fire and pluck a book from the fitted shelves in the alcoves for a quiet afternoon's reading.

Next door, discover your bright and homely family kitchen. Serving up red brick rustic charm with a healthy portion of crafted oak units, surmounted by granite work surfaces, this kitchen is a true family gathering place.

Tuck in to your sunny-side up eggs and bacon for Saturday breakfast around the kitchen table with the kids. A split-level dual oven with separate gas hob, dishwasher and integral fridge freezer are also at your convenience. Plans have even been drafted for a handy side extension and utility room should you desire even more space.

For more formal feasting, head across the way to the light and inviting dining room. Dressed in buttery hues and milky whites, a candelabra chandelier adds a sense of refined illumination to your mealtimes. Original features are sprinkled in every part of this characterful home, threading its story throughout its rooms; note the dado rail running the course of this room.

Before ascending the staircase, with its original wooden spindles, sneak a peek through to your guest WC at the end of the hallway, an added bonus.

Owner quote: "Children love this house for the expanse of space it affords for exploration and hiding!"

Upstairs and to the right, discover bedroom two, a sizeable double with mirrored corner wardrobes brimming with built-in shelving and drawers.

Slip along the hallway to discover your master suite.

Light, uplifting, and filled with scope for storage and movement, this room is a true sanctuary from the day-to-day grind.

Built-in units rise over and above the bed, with a tasteful feature wallpaper on this far wall. Decorated in soft neutral tones, this bedroom invites rest and relaxation.

Through one of the windows, look out over the leaf-lined canopy of the pretty poplar trees. An open archway leads into your private en-suite, featuring a sink and shower all for your convenience alone.

For immersive indulgence, head along the hallway into the large bathroom, decorated in muted lilac tones with laminate wooden floor.

Sooth your aching muscles in the elevated, roll top slipper bath, set on its own plinth beneath a canopy of recessed lights; a great place to relax and let the stresses and strains of life ebb away!

For a more energizing bathing experience, stimulate your senses beneath the walk-in corner shower as your towel gently warms on the heated rail nearby.

To the end of the hallway lies a handy linen closet, whilst returning to the main staircase, a further set of steps leads to a useful box room. Located behind bedroom two, this could even be transformed into a sleek en-suite.

Also nestled to this side of Roseberry House are two more comfortable bedrooms.

On the right, discover bedroom three. Currently in use as a crafting room and office, a light and bright room, versatile in its deployment.

Next door, bedroom four is dressed in soothing sage green tones and a surfeit of light from the counter-poised windows. Wake up to birdsong in the poplar trees beyond your bedroom window in this dreamy bedroom.

Room to grow The size and position of Roseberry House, snuggled behind its tree-lined drive with views over the patchwork fields, are reason enough to fall in love.

An additional bonus to life at Roseberry House is the potential for growth, as the home comes complete with its own separate workshop with double doors, a double garage and store. Currently housing a collection of vintage cars, the scope for potential development of these buildings is an exciting prospect.

Enjoy family summers spent lounging beneath the shade of the many trees, including a large sycamore which turns a burnished red in autumn.

Owner quote: "The best time of the year is definitely spring, when the whole drive is a mass of daffodils throughout its entire length. A great entrance to a great house."

In the spring, watch as the carpet of snowdrops peeps through, chased up by a sunny spread of daffodils and completed with a herald of bluebells as the warmth of summer approaches.

Enjoy garden games on the large expanse of lawn, bordered by seasonal planting; quintessential English country garden fun.

Village life Step outside and discover life in the quaint village of Burn.

Stroll along the poplar-lined driveway onto the airfield at the bottom and spend a relaxed afternoon watching the gliders float by.

Continue your amble another 100 yards or so down the road to discover your friendly village pub, The Wheatsheaf. Hosting beer festivals throughout the year, this award-winning pub is very well supported in the locale.

Pop the pooch on the lead and saunter along the Selby Canal banks for miles of fresh air and open countryside.
