Howard Street, York, North Yorkshire, YO10

Striking one-bedroom maisonette finished to an exceptional standard, with stylish open-plan living and contemporary design throughout

Description

This unique and recently completed one-bedroom maisonette offers beautifully appointed accommodation, finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Tucked within a terrace of attractive Victorian houses, the property combines high-quality contemporary design with a setting of considerable character.

The exterior is particularly appealing, with mellow brick elevations beneath a slate roof with decorative detailing. Timber sash windows to the front sit comfortably within the period street scene, while charcoal aluminium-framed windows to the rear provide a more contemporary contrast.

A private rear entrance leads to the first floor, where the principal accommodation is arranged as an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room. The bespoke German kitchen is a standout feature, comprising a full wall of sleek, handleless cabinetry, integrated appliances and a contemporary work surface with inset sink. A striking box window allows for excellent natural light, while engineered wood flooring extends throughout the space into the sitting area. Here, a thoughtfully designed media wall incorporates a television recess and integrated electric fireplace. To the front, two sash windows provide attractive views over the street.

The second floor has been cleverly designed to maximise the roof space, with a series of rooflights creating a wonderfully bright and airy bedroom. This level offers a calm and inviting retreat, with far-reaching sky views. The en suite shower room is particularly well finished, featuring underfloor heating, onyx-effect marble tiling to both walls and floors, and brushed bronze fittings, creating a luxurious and contemporary feel.

Further benefits include two useful external storage areas located on the ground floor, resident permit parking and the reassurance of a building warranty. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a stylish and low-maintenance home in a highly regarded setting.
