Newborough Street, York, YO30

Bootham Green by Advent Developments was thoughtfully designed in 2013 for a modern, eco-friendly lifestyle, featuring a selection of carefully restored Victorian homes that once belonged to the Bootham Green school, along with eight newly built townhouses. The goal of the development was to retain the architectural essence of the original school buildings, preserving the spirit of their vibrant and joyful history. The newly built homes, designed by architects, provide a contemporary touch that contrasts with the historic charm of the old school structures.

Incorporating bike sheds, convenient transport links, and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces, this development has become a highly sought-after location in the heart of York. Its appeal is further highlighted by the accolades it has earned, including a commemorative blue plaque from the York Civic Trust and the prestigious 2015 RICS Pro Yorkshire Awards.

Number 4 forms part of the new aspect of the development, occupying a mid-terrace position with pleasant views over the communal gardens and characterful old school buildings. Rising over 3 floors, the accommodation is smartly appointed with quality fittings and well-maintained decor. The versatile layout provides up to 3 bedrooms, the living and dining space of open-plan design across the first floor with a Juliet balcony and a stylish kitchen fitted with integrated appliances. To the second floor, 2 double bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, and are served by a contemporary house bathroom. On the ground floor, the entrance hallway gives access to the garage, a WC/cloakroom, and the third bedroom; this could also be utilised as a home office, with patio doors bringing in plenty of natural light and opening onto the rear garden.

Mainly hard landscaped with a paved seating area, the low-maintenance garden offers a private space ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing, with planted borders adding greenery. In addition to the integral garage, the property has an allocated parking space, and use of a secure bike store, all accessed via electric gates.

The property is situated within about half a mile of the historic city centre of York, with an abundance of attractions and facilities, restaurants, the racecourse and theatres. There are a number of renowned private schools, Bootham and St Peter’s, in close proximity. York Railway station is also within half a mile, with direct links to London in under two hours. On the doorstep, Clifton Green provides local amenities and independent shops.
