Claxton — Claxton

A handsome Georgian residence set within delightful gardens and grounds of just over half an acre, accompanied by a partially converted barn offering excellent scope for further enhancement, all located approximately seven miles from York. Poplar House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming double-fronted period home, set within generous and beautifully established grounds extending to all sides. The property enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside, creating a wonderfully peaceful and rural setting. Having been a cherished family home for many years, it now offers an incoming purchaser the opportunity to update and personalise to their own specification. The accommodation is well-proportioned and arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with staircase, complemented by a cloakroom and WC. There are three principal reception rooms, offering flexibility for both formal entertaining and family living, alongside a kitchen with adjoining walk-in pantry and rear hall. To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes an en suite bathroom, accompanied by three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A loft space provides additional storage potential. A particularly appealing feature of the property is the detached barn, which has been partially renovated to include a number of versatile spaces, including storerooms, a mezzanine study and an orangery with adjoining dining area. The building offers significant further potential, subject to the usual consents, for a variety of uses. The gardens and grounds are a notable highlight, being thoughtfully landscaped, with open countryside beyond. The setting provides a high degree of privacy and an attractive backdrop for outdoor living. Additional features include bespoke cabinetry by Peter Thompson of York in a number of rooms, an attached store, and the advantage of no onward chain. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
