Bootham Crescent, York

Located in the ever-popular Bootham area, just a short stroll from York’s historic city walls, the railway station and York Hospital, this handsome period townhouse has remained in the same family for several decades. Offering generous proportions throughout, with well-balanced bedrooms and reception space, the property has been well maintained while still presenting exciting scope for sympathetic updating or further development, subject to the necessary permissions. Offered with no onward chain, it represents a rare opportunity in such a prime location.

Internally, an inviting entrance hall leads through to two elegant reception rooms, both enhanced by bay windows that allow natural light to pour in. The principal living room retains a traditional fireplace, adding warmth and character. A third reception room sits to the rear, complete with built-in cupboards, and opens through to the kitchen which offers a range of wooden wall and base units, ample worktop space and excellent storage. Beyond this is a useful utility and pantry area, while a convenient ground floor WC completes the layout.

To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom positioned to the front. The third bedroom connects to an additional dressing room, which could be reconfigured to create a fourth bedroom if desired. The accommodation is completed by a three-piece family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed courtyard garden with a sought-after south-facing aspect. Designed for low maintenance, it features paved areas and raised flowerbeds, all enclosed by traditional brick boundaries. To the front, there is a forecourt garden and the benefit of residents’ parking within the immediate vicinity.

Given its size, heritage and enviable position, this charming townhouse is expected to attract strong interest. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed. If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks. We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf. They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely. There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser for these checks. This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances. Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from Movebutler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
