Montrose Avenue, York, YO31 8FB

This smartly presented three-bedroom home is set in a quiet residential street in Heworth, one of York’s most desirable neighborhoods. With its open-plan living, second reception room, two contemporary bathrooms, and a private, sun-filled garden, it offers a ready-to-move-into home within walking distance of the York City Centre.

At the heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining room – a sociable space designed for cooking, entertaining and everyday family life. Finished with Shaker-style cabinets, metro tiling, and a central island/breakfast bar, the kitchen flows into a full dining area with outlook to the garden and doors opening outside.

There is also a second reception room – a versatile space perfect for escaping at the end of the day. With double doors opening directly onto the garden, it provides a relaxed connection between indoors and outdoors.

The house features two modern bathrooms. The main bathroom is finished with metro tiling, patterned flooring and an L-shaped bath with shower over. The second bathroom offers a sleek walk-in shower with Crittall-style screen and black hardware, giving a boutique hotel feel.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms – two comfortable doubles and a versatile third bedroom, ideal as a nursery or home office. From here, there is even a charming glimpse of York Minster, a subtle reminder of how close you are to the city despite the home’s peaceful setting.

Outside, the garden is a particular highlight: private, leafy and a real sun trap. With mature planting, cosy seating areas, a vegetable patch down the side, and a useful storage shed, it offers both practicality and tranquility. To the front is a neat frontage, side gate access, and a driveway providing off-street parking, with free on-street parking available for visitors.

Heworth is a highly regarded area of York, combining leafy residential streets with excellent local amenities. The house is just a short stroll from:

Cavo – a new independent café and bar from the Frangos team, serving coffee, pastries, brunch, small plates and evening drinks
A local swimming pool and play park at the end of the street
The Joseph Rowntree Theatre, a community hub with regular performances and events
For commuters or those who love city living, the location is superb. It’s only a 20-minute walk into York city centre, with the charming Foss Fairy Trail providing a picturesque route along the river. Despite this convenience, the house is tucked away in a quiet setting, surrounded by greenery, giving it a calming and secluded feel.

A home that balances peace, privacy and style with the convenience of York on your doorstep – ready for its next chapter.
