A substantial detached house in the popular Stockton Lane area of York. Situated within a pleasant street the house stands on a corner plot with gardens to three sides. The original house was almost doubled in size when an annexe was added some years ago. Now requiring updating and general modernisation there is potential for remodeling either fully incorporating the extension or utilising it as accommodation for a dependent relative. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the potential of this lovely family home.

Algarth Road lies around two miles to the north-east of York city centre and enjoys easy access to the University of York campus at Heslington and the York outer ring road. Regular buses operate from the area and York railway station has services to London taking less than 2 hours. The house lies within the catchment of both Hempland Primary (rated good) and Archbishop Holgate’s (rated outstanding) state schools.

“This house is part of the Allinson’s estate built in the mid-1950s. My parents bought it from the developers in 1959 for the princely sum of £2,450 and I grew up there. They were the local GPs and built a surgery next to the main house for seeing patients, which explains why it has an unusual extension. My father’s practice grew to 4,000 patients and around 1970, he built a separate surgery in Bad Bargain Lane. The house became an additional lounge/study for my mother and in 1984, they decided to build two upstairs rooms, which she designed. My mother was also a very keen gardener and she planted the apple and pear trees in the back garden, which still bear fruit even today. Our property offers you the chance to create an extremely comfortable family home in a safe area which is ideal if you have young children, since the primary school is round the corner in the next street. It’s also perfect if you have dependent relatives who can live with you while having their own separate space. If you decide that this property is for you then I hope that you enjoy it as much as our family did.”
