Description

Our home is detached, spacious, clean and a perfectly set home for a family. It has a comfortable living room (with sky tv, dvd player, stereo, and wireless internet that connects all the computers in the whole house), dining room that seats 6/8 with a piano, a playroom (with sky tv, games console, board games, books and two dolls houses, and a double and single sofa bed if needed) and office space (with computer and a tumble dryer), a downstairs toilet and shower, as well as a fully fitted kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, fan assisted oven and microwave on the ground floor. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms (one with tv and dvd player and stereo, one with tv and computer) and two single bedrooms (both with tv's and one with computer) as well as a bathroom and toilet. Outside there is an enclosed back garden with table and chairs and a 10ft trampoline, and to the front some lawn area and a large drive. The whole house is double glazed and centrally heated.
The garden is large enough to play ball games and have barbecues. There is a fair sized barbecue in the shed which can be used. There are also various bikes (4 in total plus a trailer)
The house is around 2 minutes drive from the cities ring road, which in turn is around 15 minutes drive from the A1 (the main motorway), and around 45 minutes drive from Leeds Bradford Airport, 75 minutes drive from Manchester Airport.
The historic city of York is around 5 minutes drive, or a short ride on the bus. The city centre has many things to offer including great shopping, many museums and attractions including the Minster, the York Eye, the Castle Museum, the York Dungeon, and the Bar Walls. There are dozens of fantastic restaurants,live music venues, pubs and places to visit of an evening. York is also in close proximity to the Yorkshire Dales and Moors, offering many more attractions such as Castle Howard and Dalby Forest. It also around 30 minutes drive from Leeds, and 1 hour from Manchester.

Neighborhood

Local amenities include a grocery shop, a newsagents, a hardware store, a hairdressers, a chinese and two other takeaways which are less than 5 minutes walk from the house. The bus into the city centre is also located at the local shops, and buses travel into the city every 10 minutes.
The neighbourhood is fairly quiet, mainly families and older people, so does not cause problems for those looking for a quiet space! Neighbours are friendly without being intrusive. There is a moor around 5 minutes away which provides a lovely area for walking, and the Minster and the York eye are visible from the moor, as well as some local cows!!

About Us

My name is Liz and I am a 32 year old single parent with 3 children. I work full time in Social Services for the Local Authority with people with learning disabilities. I also hold a voluntary position on the governing body for my local primary school.
I am a widow, and have been on my own with the children for 9 years.
My family mostly live locally so we spend a lot of time with my parents, and some of my 4 sisters and their families.
We have a dog, 2 cats and a hamster.
We enjoy going on country walks, bicycle rides, travelling the world, going to the cinema and doing things together as a family.
I also have an unhealthy obsession for cleaning, and spend as much time as I can spare cleaning!! The only other thing I have time for occasionally is reading.
