This Victorian townhouse boasts an array of original features and ample living space, positioned in a desirable part of York. Traditionally a family residence for over three generations, the property showcases characteristic high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and large sash windows that contribute to a bright and airy atmosphere. The entrance hall is notable for its grand staircase, leading through to generous reception rooms; the front room is adorned with a captivating bay window and fireplace, while the rear dining area overlooks the garden and includes built-in storage. The kitchen provides basic amenities but requires modernisation to enhance functionality.
A ground floor WC adds convenience but is currently the only toilet in the house; buyers may wish to consider adding another bathroom given the existing layout. The second-floor bathroom includes just a sink and bath which could benefit from refurbishment.
The property’s cellar presents additional potential for transformation or storage, showcasing typical Victorian brickwork and cold shelves. On the upper levels, there are four bedrooms with favorable features such as fireplaces and natural light from large windows; possibilities for dormer extensions could be explored with planning consent.
Externally, the South West-facing garden offers a manageable outdoor space enriched by privacy from surrounding walls—ideal for personalisation or entertaining. This home represents an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers looking to undertake significant renovations to restore its former glory while creating a tailored living environment suited to contemporary standards. Located in a sought-after conservation area near local amenities and green spaces, this property’s location enhances its investment potential significantly.
