A charming and beautifully presented 3 bedroom Grade 2 Listed townhouse forming part of a terrace of just seven Georgian houses - one of York’s hidden historic and architectural gems - a tiny and charming Regency enclave (Nikolaus Pevsner). The properties are situated in the heart of the city centre, in an elevated position behind their own city walls overlooking Tower Gardens and the River Ouse. The house has 3 double bedrooms and has been extended to provide an open plan breakfast room and kitchen.

The house is set back behind a delightful south facing lawned front garden with a patio seating area and a pathway to the front door. Once inside, the tiled entrance hallway leads to two doors into the through lounge and dining room which features a smart wood effect ceramic tiled floor, a bow sash window to the front, and a grand cast iron fireplace with gas flame fire. Part glazed double doors open to the extended kitchen/breakfast room which is a wonderfully bright space with the breakfast area benefitting from two Velux windows overhead and French doors that open to the courtyard rear garden. The tiled floor flows through into the kitchen area which has two windows and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with laminate worktops, a gas hob with overhead extractor, an oven with grill and spaces for a fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. A doorway leads to a handy downstairs WC. There are steps from the lounge that lead down to the cellar.

On the first floor there are 2 double bedrooms, each with an original cast iron fireplace and fitted cupboards. The principal bedroom at the front also features a sash bow window overlooking Tower Gardens. To the rear is a separate bathroom/WC with a shower over the bath and a window to the side.

To the rear there is a paved patio garden with a rear pedestrian access gate to an alleyway which benefits from a security gate. On-street parking is available with a residents permit in the streets nearby.

The property is perfectly placed to enjoy all the delights York has to offer, right on your doorstep.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to their close proximity to the River Ouse, the properties in Tower Place and nearby are prone to flooding in the basement when the water level rises above normal. In exceptional circumstances it can rise into the ground floor, although, the seller informs us that this has not happened for about 10 years. However, the property now benefits from Environment Agency approved flood mitigation measures.
