First Avenue, York, YO31 7YQ

Perfect for families seeking space near the city, this elegant period home blends character with modern comfort and a sunny west facing garden for easy outdoor living. With generous rooms and scope to grow, it is ready to move into and enjoy.

Set behind a smart forecourt, this attractive period terrace has been thoughtfully updated throughout, creating a bright and welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. The entrance hall leads into a beautifully presented lounge at the front of the house, where plantation shutters frame the bay window and allow light to pour in while keeping privacy. A new feature fireplace with fitted cupboards either side adds charm and useful storage, while the high ceilings and detailed cornicing reflect the character of the home. This is a calm and comfortable space for relaxing in the evenings or spending time together as a family.

To the rear of the ground floor is a separate dining room, ideal for family meals, homework at the table, or entertaining friends. It offers good proportions and flows naturally through to the extended kitchen/breakfast room, which has been completely refitted with a new luxury kitchen. The layout is practical and well planned, with plenty of worktop space, fitted units, and room for informal dining at the breakfast bar. The large kitchen window draws in natural light and gives a pleasant outlook towards the courtyard garden. Modern fitted appliances and smart cabinetry make this a space that is both stylish and easy to use every day. From here, doors open directly onto the courtyard, making it simple to step outside with food and drinks in the warmer months.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The spacious landing has fitted desk office furniture, creating a ready made study area that works well for home working or children’s homework without taking up a full bedroom. The main bedroom sits to the front and benefits from fitted Hammonds wardrobes, offering generous storage while keeping the room uncluttered. Plantation shutters add a neat finish and allow you to control light and privacy. The en suite has been newly updated with a fresh, modern shower and quality fittings, providing a private space to start and end the day.

There are three further bedrooms, all well presented and also enhanced with fitted Hammonds wardrobes in two of them, making storage simple. These rooms are flexible and can be used as children’s bedrooms, guest rooms, or additional work space depending on your needs. The family bathroom has also been recently fitted, with contemporary tiling and sanitary ware, creating a clean and relaxing space for busy mornings or a quiet bath in the evening. Recently fitted carpets, tiles, and flooring run throughout the property, tying everything together with a fresh and consistent finish.

The home has been improved behind the scenes as well as cosmetically. A new boiler and radiators have been installed, and the loft is boarded throughout and offers excellent storage. This potential for further improvement makes the property especially appealing to families who may wish to grow into the house over time. 

Outside, the west facing courtyard garden has been landscaped with new sandstone tiles and fencing, creating a private and low maintenance outdoor space. It is easy to imagine summer evenings here, with seating arranged to catch the afternoon and evening sun. The courtyard is ideal for children to play safely, for pets to relax, or for hosting friends for a barbecue. A garden shed provides useful storage for bikes and outdoor equipment, and the new rear fencing enhances privacy.
