Poplar House is a well-conceived modern house that enjoys a rural setting at the end of a no-through road some two miles west of the York ring road. The house is designed with a southerly orientation and all principal rooms face the extensive grasslands and native woodland belonging to the property. The whole feels very private and self-contained. Extended and updated in recent years, Poplar House features a fine Jeremy Wood kitchen with a magnificent 12ft picture window providing far-reaching views across its own land. This is a rural sanctuary where wildlife can be enjoyed in abundance.

View More - The handmade Jeremy Wood kitchen was fitted in 2018. It is part double height with underfloor heating and features two magnificent 12ft high picture windows, paned and facing south/east, one delivering a spectacular sky-to-land view across the grassland as far as the eye can see. Along with underfloor heating, the kitchen has a Shaws double bowl Belfast sink, silestone work surfaces, an island with breakfast bar and Siemens and Neff integrated appliances. A large utility room sits alongside. Entered through double doors, the sitting room is beautifully proportioned with a traditional working open fireplace and a pair of French doors opening east on to the terrace. The formal dining room, again entered through double doors, is double aspect and comfortably accommodates a ten-seater dining table.

Upstairs the 20ft principal bedroom suite has a pair of windows facing east across the land, fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. All bedrooms are double and have fitted cupboards or wardrobes. Bedroom suite 2 would serve well as a guest bedroom being annexed on the northern side of the house with its own bathroom. The house bathroom is generous in size, fully tiled with both a bath tub and shower.

Outside - The property is approached via a long, gravelled drive flagged by stretches of lawn and young trees, bounded either side by high timber fencing and continuing to a large parking and turning area in front of the house. The land totals 7.5 acres and surrounds the house, predominantly lying to the rear and extending to the south and east. A large stone flagged terrace edged with gravel abuts the house on two elevations and is bordered by sweeping lawns. The current owners have planted many hundreds of native trees during their 21 year tenure creating thriving bands of young English woodland on the eastern boundary and at the far end of the property. On the southern boundary, a shelterbelt of established trees and mature hedging successfully screens the property from the passenger railway line. Mowed paths create walkways through the grass meadows lands where scattered trees provide fine viewpoints.
