"The Villa" is an impressive detached period home that perfectly balances its historic character with a crisp, modern finish. Set within approximately 2.2 acres in the quiet hamlet of Laxton, the property makes an immediate impression. The front is served by two practical gravelled driveways providing extensive parking, one of which is framed by a standout magnolia tree.
The heart of this home has been beautifully re-modelled for contemporary life. The stunning dining kitchen is a masterclass in design, featuring sleek quartz worktops, a central island, and bi-folding doors that dissolve the boundary between the interior and the garden. It is a space built for the realities of family life, supported by a substantial utility/boot room—essential for country living—and three versatile reception rooms.
The first floor offers a thoughtful layout, including a principal bedroom with a dedicated walk-in wardrobe leading to a private en-suite. Three further bedrooms (comprising a second double, a smaller double, and a single) share a well-appointed family bathroom.
The outside space is a particular highlight, designed for both relaxation and practical rural use. An extensive rear patio features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, fridge, and sink, providing an ideal setting for effortless hosting. This leads to an expansive lawn with a dedicated children’s play area, while a farm gate to the rear provides convenient access to the grazing paddock. For those with equestrian interests or a need for versatile space, a private track leads down to the paddock and a stable block consisting of two stables and a tack room. Furthermore, a range of brick outbuildings, which previously held planning permission for holiday let accommodation, offers incredible scope for workshops, storage, or a future income stream.
The property is situated in the peaceful and highly regarded village of Laxton, a charming rural community in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Known for its tranquil atmosphere and scenic surroundings, Laxton offers a true "getaway from it all" feel while remaining remarkably well-connected.
Laxton is well-served by several nearby schools. For primary education, Eastrington Primary School is located just over 2 miles away, with Howden Junior School and Howden CE Infant School providing further options. For secondary-aged children, the property falls within the catchment area for Howden School. Laxton also has a village hall and popular public house which serves food.
The nearby historic market town of Howden (approximately 3 miles away) provides a superb range of independent shops, cafes and supermarkets. For the commuter, Saltmarshe railway station is within easy reach, offering links to Hull and Sheffield, while the M62 motorway is easily accessible, placing York and Leeds within comfortable driving distance.
