Description

A unique detached bungalow set behind electric gates and positioned within 1.5 acres of beautifully arranged grounds. Designed with enhanced accessibility, it offers superb flexibility for families and multi-generational living. Both the main house and the annex include air-conditioning for year-round comfort.

The main residence centres around a bright open-plan living space with triple bifolds opening onto the terrace and gardens, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow. The contemporary kitchen features generous worktops, sleek cabinetry, a large arched window with garden views and a separate utility. There are three double bedrooms (two en-suite), including a semi-independent suite with kitchenette, plus a fully accessible bathroom with hoist system.

The standout 550 sq.ft. detached annex provides superb additional accommodation with corner bifolds, private terrace, kitchenette, WC, air-conditioning and its own garden — ideal for relatives, guests, studio use or independent working.

The 1.5 acres of grounds include raised beds, a paddock, orchard and multiple private garden zones, along with a long gated driveway, detached double garage and secure parking for several vehicles.

Located in the well-regarded village of Melbourne, the property enjoys a friendly rural setting with a popular village pub, sports playing fields and the highly regarded Melbourne Community Primary School. Surrounded by open countryside yet within easy reach of York, Pocklington and major road links, the village offers a peaceful, well-connected lifestyle with strong community appeal.

Compliance - Agents are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those buying a property. We outsource the initial checks to a partner supplier, Coadjute, who will contact you once you have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £40 + VAT per person. This is a non-refundable fee. These charges cover the cost of obtaining relevant data, any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid, and the checks completed in advance of the office issuing a memorandum of sale on the property you would like to buy.
