Description
Originally constructed as a three-storey residence, the property’s history took an unexpected turn during World War II when the top floor was damaged by a bomb. Following the incident, the home was partially rebuilt as a two-storey dwelling, retaining a spacious attic. This blend of historical significance and thoughtful reconstruction adds a unique character to this distinguished home.
Celebrated for its impressive original features, the property is Grade II Listed, showcasing stunning period fireplaces, restored cornicing and ceiling roses. The accommodation boasts grand proportions befitting of its past, yet is comfortable and practical for modern living. Beautifully preserved parquet flooring flows from the entrance hallway through to the kitchen, which also features a useful pantry. There are two elegant reception rooms, with fabulously high ceilings and 12-pane sash windows. Secondary glazing has been fitted to the sitting room, dining room and master bedroom, ensuring peace from the bustling city beyond. The sitting room also benefits from stylish plantation shutters, providing further privacy. Upstairs, the property features three double bedrooms, a separate WC, and a well-appointed house bathroom.
A large loft hatch with a drop down ladders leads to the second floor attic space; mostly boarded with light and power, it currently serves as useful storage but could easily be converted to provide additional bedrooms and bathrooms, subject to planning consents.
The rear garden has been expertly landscaped with stunning stone paving, designed to provide an outdoor kitchen with dining and relaxing areas. A timber shed opens to reveal a garden 'pub' with power and lighting, all enclosed by shrubbery and trees providing a natural border. To the side of the house, black wrought-iron gates open into a driveway providing parking for one vehicle. There is additional on-street parking directly to the front of the property.
Clifton is a highly sought-after area located northwest of York’s historic city centre. Steeped in history with stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture, alongside excellent local amenities. Clifton is home to the highly regarded schools of St Peter’s and Bootham, and is within walking distance of York’s cultural attractions, including the Minster, and the railway station via the Scarborough Bridge. With its mix of green spaces, riverside walks, and easy access to amenities, Clifton perfectly balances city living with a village-like community atmosphere.
