Full property description

Positioned within an exclusive courtyard development, the house offers almost 1,800 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, thoughtfully designed for modern family living.

Inside, the home opens into a spacious hallway with stone flooring that flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen and dining area. This inviting space features oak work surfaces, an induction hob, double oven, integrated appliances, and a cleverly crafted island with built-in bench seating—perfect for both casual family meals and entertaining guests. The room is flooded with natural light thanks to fully openable five-pane glass doors, which lead out to a low-maintenance rear garden walled on both sides and finished with Yorkshire stone paving and artificial lawn. Also on the ground floor is a separate utility room and a downstairs W/C.

The generous lounge is warm and welcoming, with oak flooring, a stone hearth with log burner, and French window shutters that add a touch of timeless charm. The ground floor benefits under floor heating throughout with individually controlled zones.

An oak staircase leads to the first floor, where four double bedrooms await, all with vaulted ceilings and restored original beams, maintaining the character and feel of the original warehouse. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, offering nearly 300 sq ft of floor space and a private en suite shower room.

Externally, the property continues to impress. It benefits from three allocated parking spaces—one located just outside the gate—and the current owners have created two additional spaces within the gated garden, ideal for visitors or additional vehicles. A brick-built outbuilding provides excellent storage, and an electric car charger has also been installed for convenience.

The Cuckoo’s Nest enjoys a superb village location, ideal for families and commuters alike. Gate Helmsley is in the catchment area for Sand Hutton CofE Primary School, with a dedicated school bus service, and for Huntington Secondary School, also served by transport from the village. For outdoor enthusiasts and dog owners, there are fantastic walking routes right on the doorstep, including a scenic public footpath leading to Warthill’s duck pond.

Local amenities are within easy reach, including the well-stocked BATA garage, open daily from 6am to 8pm, and the ever-popular Balloon Tree Farmshop and Café, just a short walk away, offering a children’s play area and seasonal activities like strawberry and pumpkin picking. For those commuting or enjoying days out in the city, the Number 10 bus provides a regular service between Stamford Bridge and York city centre from early morning until late at night. The village pub, The Duke of York, has recently been purchased by local residents and is set to undergo a full refurbishment, promising a fantastic future hub for the community.

Lovingly converted and further enhanced by its current owners, The Cuckoo’s Nest is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive and spacious home in a picturesque, well-connected village—a perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience.
