Introducing Parkside

March 31, 2025

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Stillington, just over eight miles north of York, Parkside is an exceptional five-bedroom detached period home that blends timeless charm with contemporary living. Thought to date back to the late 1700s, this beautifully presented property spans more than 3,425 sq ft across three floors, offering an abundance of versatile space. With an idyllic south-facing walled garden and no onward chain, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a highly sought-after location.

Grand & Versatile Living Spaces

From the moment you step inside, Parkside’s elegant proportions and period features make a lasting impression. The welcoming reception hall, complete with an impressive staircase, sets the tone for the home’s character and warmth. Two formal reception rooms provide refined yet comfortable living spaces, each featuring stunning fireplaces that add to the property’s historic charm.

At the heart of the home is a superbly appointed dining kitchen, where traditional meets modern. Granite worktops, extensive storage, and a substantial central island create a space that is both functional and stylish. The underfloor heating adds a touch of luxury, while double doors open onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A walk-in pantry and a well-equipped utility and boot room provide additional practicality, with access to both the garden and the attached garage.

Adding a unique dimension to the home, the snug – a stunning conversion of a former barn-boasts an array of exposed beams and leads up to an extraordinary 29’6” split-level mezzanine. Currently used as a home office and gym, this space offers endless possibilities, whether as a creative studio, library, or additional living area.

A Home of Character & Comfort

The first floor is home to the impressive principal bedroom, a spacious retreat with exposed beams, a period fireplace, fitted wardrobes, a dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and a fabulous family bathroom complete this floor, while the second floor offers two additional double bedrooms and a shower room, making it an ideal space for guests or growing families.

Throughout the home, period charm is complemented by modern conveniences, including an oil-fired central heating system and replacement double glazing to all but the original front sash windows, preserving the property’s heritage appeal.

A Stunning South-Facing Garden

Step outside, and the beautifully landscaped walled garden provides a private oasis to enjoy year-round. South-facing and bathed in natural light, the garden features a well-kept lawn, paved seating areas, and winding pathways. Fruit trees, raised vegetable and herb beds, a greenhouse, and a garden store complete this tranquil space, perfect for those who love to embrace outdoor living.

To the front, a charming garden with neat box hedging frames the property, while a driveway provides parking and access to the attached garage.

A Desirable Village Location

Stillington is a highly regarded village that offers a wonderful balance of rural charm and accessibility. With excellent local amenities, including a traditional village pub, a thriving community, and close links to York, it’s the perfect setting for those seeking countryside living without compromise.
