Fountayne Street, York, YO31

This beautifully presented three-bedroom period townhouse on Fountayne Street has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded throughout, seamlessly blending stunning character features with the comforts of modern living.

Arranged over three versatile floors, the current owners have made significant improvements to this wonderful home, including the addition of a superb dormer master suite on the third floor, installation of a new boiler, replacement windows and doors, and the addition of stylish log-burning stove.

To the front, a charming walled forecourt with gated access sets the tone. Stepping inside, you are welcomed into the family lounge, an incredibly light and inviting space enhanced by a bay window and tasteful modern décor. Double glass doors lead through to the adjoining dining room, allowing natural light to flow effortlessly between the spaces. The dining room is both cosy and practical, featuring a log-burning stove, patio doors opening onto the rear garden, a built-in dining bench, and ample space for entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted in a timeless cream shaker style with contrasting black worktops, modern tiling, and a range of built-in appliances. Generous wall and base units provide excellent storage, and a rear door offers direct access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is the stylish family bathroom, finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling and a contemporary suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

The first floor hosts a large double bedroom, formerly the master, which is beautifully spacious and retains an original fireplace. A window overlooks the rear garden, and the room leads through to its own private bathroom — an impressively sized space featuring a freestanding shower, large bathtub, twin sinks, WC, and heated towel rail. A second smaller double bedroom on this floor offers flexibility as a child’s room, home office, or dressing room.

The recently completed dormer extension on the third floor now provides a superb master bedroom suite. This spacious retreat offers excellent proportions, a large window, and ample room for furnishings. The ensuite bathroom includes a bath with shower over, basin, WC, and heated towel rail.

One of the standout features of this attractive terrace is the generous rear garden — a rarity compared to typical courtyards — offering a wonderful low-maintenance outdoor space ready for the next owner to enjoy and personalise. Permit parking is available on-street to the front.

Ideally positioned, Fountayne Street is just a short distance from York city centre, York St John University, and York District Hospital. The property also benefits from easy access to the ring road for travel further afield and to the train station, with direct rail links to London in under two hours.

A truly stylish and spacious home in a highly convenient location — early viewing is highly recommended.
