Meadlands Mews, York, YO31

An immaculately presented three-bedroom townhouse, forming part of the distinctive and award-winning Derwenthorpe development by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. Designed with energy efficiency and sustainable living in mind, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over three floors, with excellent natural light throughout, a private rear garden and allocated parking.

The property has been exceptionally well maintained by the current owners and offers a particularly appealing combination of contemporary design, practical living space and energy-conscious construction. As part of the Derwenthorpe development, the house benefits from high levels of insulation and a communal district heating system supplying heating and hot water. 

The ground floor is approached through a covered porch to an entrance hallway, with a useful cloakroom/WC. To the rear is a generously proportioned open-plan living and dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. Large windows and glazed double doors overlooking the garden allow plenty of natural light into the room, whilst providing a pleasant connection between the internal and external spaces.

The kitchen is positioned off the living/dining room and has been fitted with a contemporary range of white gloss units, complemented by wood-effect worktops. There is an integrated oven, induction hob and extractor, together with space for additional appliances and a window providing natural light and attractive views.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying good natural light and flexibility for a variety of uses, including guest accommodation or home working. These are served by a modern family bathroom, whilst the spacious landing provides additional usable space, ideal for a home office, seating area or storage.

Occupying the second floor is a particularly spacious principal bedroom, creating a pleasant degree of separation from the remainder of the accommodation. The room benefits from roof windows, a walk-in closet, useful eaves storage and its own en-suite shower room, making this an excellent principal bedroom suite.

Externally, the property has an attractive contemporary brick façade, with a small forecourt to the front. There is also the benefit of an allocated parking space for one vehicle situated to the front of the house.

To the rear is a delightful enclosed garden with rear access, thoughtfully landscaped to provide an attractive yet relatively low-maintenance outdoor space. A paved pathway is bordered by gravelled areas, established planting and raised beds, with timber garden store and generous summer house. The garden and summer house offer a pleasant setting for outdoor seating and enjoyment throughout the warmer months.

In summary, this is a beautifully maintained and deceptively spacious modern home, offering three genuine double bedrooms, light-filled living accommodation and the benefits of energy-efficient design. Its immaculate presentation and position within the established Derwenthorpe community make it an appealing choice for a range of buyers.
