Village Farm, Foston, York - £925,000 - Freehold

Village Farm is a truly distinctive home that effortlessly combines the charm of a traditional cottage with the scale and quality of a modern family property. Set within beautifully manicured grounds of approximately two acres, it enjoys a wonderfully private setting with far-reaching views towards the Howardian Hills, creating an idyllic backdrop to everyday life.

Behind its characterful exterior lies a substantial and highly practical home extending to over 1,700 sq ft. When the current owners purchased the relatively untouched cottage in 2010, they undertook an ambitious and meticulous transformation. The property was taken back to brick and thoughtfully rebuilt to exacting standards, while carefully preserving the essence of a period cottage. This was far more than a simple modernisation; it was a complete reimagining, including internal insulation, new roofing, rewiring, replumbing and comprehensive structural improvements, resulting in a bespoke home designed for contemporary family living.

The interior finish reflects this attention to detail, blending traditional character with modern comfort. Features such as sliding sash windows and wide oak board flooring sit comfortably alongside the generous proportions and high-quality specification expected of a modern build. In addition, the construction of a garage with annex accommodation provides valuable flexibility, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or home working.

The gardens are a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped and enjoying open views to the rear. A fenced paddock and field shelter further enhance the lifestyle appeal, offering opportunities for those seeking a semi-rural way of life.

Village Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine individuality - a property that delivers the romance of a country cottage without compromising on space, comfort or practicality.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE

We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed. If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks. We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf. They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely. There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser for these checks. This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances. Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from Movebutler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process
