An exceptional and substantial four-bedroom town house offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. Situated on the highly sought after residential side road of St Johns Street, just outside the city walls off Lord Mayors Walk and a stone’s throw from the city centre.
The property has retained a wealth of character features and is set back behind an attractive forecourt with traditional wrought iron railings. The decorative front bay window and bespoke casement windows blend in beautifully with the overall appeal of the street.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway with beautiful mosaic tiled floor, which leads to the separate formal lounge at the front, featuring lovely low bay window, corniced ceiling and a recently fitted log burner. A further, more informal family room with decorative cornicing is located off the hallway, and leads directly into the open plan dining/kitchen area.
The tasteful kitchen includes light grey shaker style wall and base units, integrated appliances, dual oven, plus ceramic sink located within the peninsula and provision for barstools for casual dining. For more formal dining there is ample space for a table and chairs in the open plan dining area, which is flooded with natural light from the glass roof and double patio doors onto the rear courtyard. A ground floor cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each featuring original cast iron fireplace with modern surround and closed storage in the alcoves. A stylish three piece family bathroom, complete with freestanding bath, wooden flooring and a further cast iron fireplace serves these bedrooms, with the convenience of a separate shower room/WC further off the landing.
Ascending to the top floor are two additional bedrooms. Both carefully designed with beautiful in-built wardrobes in bedroom three, with bedroom four currently serving as a home office. Exceptional views over York add to the charm in both bedrooms.
Throughout the home, neutral décor and high-quality finishes combine to create a sense of warmth and sophistication, while thoughtful storage solutions maximise space and functionality. This delightful home is presented in truly walk in condition.
Externally to the rear is neat and tidy landscaped courtyard, offering space for outdoor seating and a remarkable degree of privacy with attractive and historic listed buildings beyond.
In summary, an outstanding period home with the convenience of a modern dining kitchen, unbeatably located at the choice city end of a highly regarded street.
