A UNIQUE COTTAGE WITH HUGE POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVEMENT/REMODELLING IN THE HEART OF THE BISHOPHILL CONSERVATION AREA
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious cottage situated within the historic city walls in the highly sought after Bishophill conservation area.
The property does require some updating/improvement but offers enormous potential. The current layout extends to over 1100sq.ft. The spacious ground floor comprises a garden room, living room, conservatory and kitchen with AGA. On the first floor is a comparatively small mezzanine level with a double bedroom and bathroom and this offers an excellent opportunity for remodeling/expansion to create further bedroom space.
Externally there is a valuable off-street parking space for 2 cars.
There is a communal garden at the rear, 50% of which is owned by this property.
Location
Priory Street lies within the popular Bishophill conservation area within close walking distance of Yorks extensive facilities and tourist attractions.
York railway station is only ¼ mile away with 1-2 trains per hour to London.
What The Sellers Say
“My late father was a GP and keen local artist and this property was his studio, which he acquired in 1977 as a derelict property, together with the two adjoining flats, which he subsequently sold. The flats were stables for farmers bringing their cattle to market while the property itself is a 19th-century schoolroom. In the early years, my father did all of his sculpting and painting in the main house but subsequently roofed over the back yard and turned it into a large conservatory which was always festooned with his work.
If you like high ceilings and a loft style layout then you will love this space. If you run a small business then you could use the conservatory area for your office. You also have two great cafés (Partisan/Brancusi), a Michelin starred restaurant (Skosh) and a haunted mediaeval church on your doorstep. If you want to go into the town centre, it's 8-10 minutes' walk. If you need to get to the University, then the direct bus stops on Nunnery...
