REGULAR readers will know we do love a fireplace. It’s the obvious focal point and sorry but a 60in TV just doesn’t have the same pulling power.

Sometimes, though, the fire turns out to be one of those 70s random stone affairs. You might as well pull it out and stare at the telly instead.

Fortunately there has been something of a revolution in living flame designs which means you can have the best of both worlds and at this Strensall house just look how well they work in situ.

That’s not the only attraction on offer at this beautifully presented four double bedroom, two bathroom family house which combines the benefits of a modern home with the style, charm and character reminiscent of an older house.

The lounge also features a bay window, built in alcove cupboards and a superb slate clad chimney breast with that fantastic inset gas flame fire.

There is a separate dining room with French doors, while the kitchen has been updated with modern wall and base units, an integrated dishwasher and spaces for both washing machine and an American style fridge/freezer.

More French doors open onto the garden room which features a vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses and overlooks the sunny west facing rear garden.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms including an impressive master bedroom suite with dressing area and stylish en suite shower room.

There is also a superb family bathroom/WC with bath, shower cubicle and wall hung WC. Both the en suite and the family bathroom feature Travertine limestone tiled walls and floor.

On the second floor you will find two further double bedrooms and a large airing cupboard on the landing.

This home forms part of an exclusive development of just four houses set behind tall trees and deep lawned gardens. A shared driveway leads behind where the property benefits from a double garage and parking.

There really is a lot to like here, and not just that fireplace.
