The Mount, York, North Yorkshire

A DISTINGUISHED AND ELEGANTLY PROPORTIONED END OF TERRACE GRADE II LISTED TOWN HOUSE WITH GOOD SIZED GARDEN AND PRIVATE PARKING IN ONE OF YORK’S MOST DESIRABLE RESIDENTIAL AREAS

Listed Grade II as being of architectural and historic importance, Mallard House is a most impressive end of terrace town house situated in the very heart of The Mount, itself forming the main south westerly approach to the city centre and lying close to the large public open space of the Knavesmire and the renowned York Racecourse. The main line railway station is within easy walking distance and from where there are regular services to London (Kings’ Cross), Newcastle and Edinburgh as well as to Leeds and Harrogate.

Mallard House is constructed of attractive mellow brick elevations under a slate roof with glazing bar sash windows with rubbed brick flat arches and displays many attractive period features. The property is arranged over three bays with the main entrance lying on Park Street where the central bay contains a most attractive doorcase with engaged Doric columns, a triglyph frieze and panelled reveals, housing a six-panel front door with semi-circular overlight. Internally, the property is no less impressive and there are a number of architectural features to include moulded plasterwork cornices, door architraves and deep skirting boards and of particular note is a wonderful turning staircase which rises to the full height of the house and which goes to make for a great feeling of light and spaciousness to the centre of the property. Both principal reception rooms are arranged to the front of the house with that on the ground floor having the benefit of two deep 12-pane sash windows and being eminently suitable for use as either a well proportioned Sitting Room or an impressive Dining Room. Above, at first floor level is a fine first floor Drawing Room with similar fenestration and which forms a most wonderful principal reception room of great charm and elegant proportions, being ideal for entertaining on all scales. Approached off the Entrance Hall and with a good dual aspect is a quite superb fitted Kitchen/Breakfast Room which comes complete with underfloor central heating, slate tiled floor, recessed ceiling lights and an extensive range of polished granite worksurfaces with painted Shaker style cupboards and drawers beneath with matching wall cupboards above. The chimney breast is of a scale so as to be able to accommodate a two-oven Rangemaster stove with 5-ring halogen hob with built in NEFF extractor fan over whilst close by, fitted wall cupboards surround a void suitable for housing an American style refrigerator. Adjacent is a useful peninsular unit with polished granite worksurface with a double stainless sink unit with mixer tap, constant hot water tap and integrated Miele dishwasher.

The lower ground floor is unusually extensive and offers superb family accommodation to include a Games Room, Shower Room, Cellar and Family/Utility Room with door to an external flight of steps leading up to the garden. Here there is a good south east facing stone flagged terrace providing a most wonderful summer seating and al fresco dining area. Beyond a dwarf brick wall surrmounted by coping stones and iron railings is the principal garden with its own rear boundary being similarly delineated and beyond which is a good sized parking area suitable for 2 cars with direct vehicular access to Park Street.
