Description
Description
40 East Mount Road is a very fine, forecourted, Victorian townhouse offering particularly elegant and generous beautifully proportioned accommodation of real character. With high ceilings, large windows and period features throughout, this house is located on an incredibly popular street and offers comfortable accommodation in the city close to green spaces, excellent schooling and the ever-popular Bishopthorpe Road.
Shielded from the path by a front courtyard, the front door opens into a traditional Minton flag flooring currently hidden under carpet off which a sitting room with a large bay window and cast iron fireplace leads through to the dining room and kitchen/utility room. The house's four bedrooms are spread out evenly over the top three floors of the property, with the principal bedroom being located on the second floor overlooking the front garden. The bathroom is located towards the back of the house near the stairs on the first floor, while the second floor houses a drawing room with fireplace overlooking the street.
This characterful home is an excellent example of a York townhouse with typical walled garden. It has previously served as a loving family home and is now ready for a new family to use their own style to create the perfect home once more.
The property benefits from a courtyard garden with access to the rear on to Shaw's Terrace. Located adjacent to the house on Shaw's Terrace is the convenience of a garage.
