Russell Street, York, YO23 1NN

Perfect for professional couples or young families who love period character with a modern finish, this beautifully renovated freehold home offers stylish space in a sought after setting just off Bishopthorpe Road. The house is entered through a neat front courtyard which sets a welcoming tone. Inside, an entrance vestibule leads into an inner hallway where reclaimed oak parquet flooring immediately catches the eye and flows through the ground floor living areas, adding warmth and character.

You're welcomed into the home via an entrance porch with pretty wooden and stained glass door, leading into the entrance hallway with parquet herringbone flooring, running throughout the ground floor. To the front, the lounge is bright and well sized, centred around a large bay window that fills the room with natural light. A decorative ceiling rose and feature fireplace frame an impressive log burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for quiet evenings or relaxed gatherings. At the rear sits the dining room, another generous space with its own ceiling rose and feature period fireplace. A large contemporary glass door opens directly onto the low maintenance rear courtyard garden, allowing light to pour in and making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor living during warmer months. 

The kitchen sits to the rear and has been thoughtfully fitted with tasteful wall and base units paired with wooden work surfaces. A sink and practical layout make it ideal for everyday cooking, while an under stairs storage cupboard provides useful extra space. Off the kitchen there is a separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer, helping to keep the main kitchen area clear and organised. A ground floor W.C. adds further convenience. 

Upstairs, the spacious main bedroom is a calm and comfortable retreat. It benefits from built in storage that keeps the space clutter free, along with a charming feature fireplace that reflects the home’s period roots. The second double bedroom also includes built in shelving and offers flexibility as a guest room, nursery or home office. The accommodation is completed by a four piece bathroom. A freestanding roll top bath takes centre stage, creating a touch of luxury, while a separate modern shower enclosure and heated towel rail add everyday comfort.

Outside, the rear courtyard garden is paved for easy care and enjoys a west facing aspect, meaning it benefits from afternoon and evening sun in the summer. It provides a pleasant spot for outdoor dining or relaxing after work, with useful external storage for bikes or garden items. To the front, on street permit parking is available, making day to day life straightforward in this popular residential area.
