Hampden Street, York, North Yorkshire, YO1

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property occupying a prominent corner position within York's highly sought-after Bishophill Conservation Area, just moments from the city centre, railway station and the vibrant amenities of Bishopthorpe Road.

Overlooking attractive green spaces and enjoying open views along Bishophill Senior towards the well-known Golden Ball public house and Lady Anne Middleton's Hotel, Hampden House is an elegant early Victorian building that has been sympathetically and extensively renovated in recent years. The result is a beautifully presented property that successfully blends period character with modern convenience.

Formerly a corner shop for over a century, the property has a rich and fascinating history and remains a well-known local landmark within Bishophill. Currently arranged as two independently accessed maisonettes, the accommodation extends across four floors and offers exceptional flexibility for a variety of purchasers. The property could continue in its current configuration, providing multi-generational living, income potential or investment opportunities, whilst also offering the prospect of being reconfigured into a superb four or five-bedroom family home, subject to any necessary consents. Architectural drawings illustrating a number of alternative residential layouts are available from the selling agents and can also be viewed online.

The upper maisonette is arranged over the first and second floors and provides particularly bright and airy accommodation, benefitting from its corner position and attractive open outlook. The accommodation includes an impressive principal reception room featuring original cast iron fireplaces, bespoke cabinetry and views across the conservation area. A contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances, bathroom and two generous double bedrooms complete the accommodation, with the flexibility to reinstate a third bedroom if required.
The lower maisonette occupies the ground and lower ground floors and was formerly the building's corner shop. It offers characterful accommodation including a spacious reception room, two bedrooms and bathroom, together with a kitchen and dining room located on the lower ground floor.

Of particular note is the private landscaped rear courtyard, which provides valuable off-street parking, a rarely available feature within York's historic city walls.

Steeped in local history and occupying a prime position within one of York's most desirable conservation areas, Hampden House offers exceptional flexibility, character and considerable future potential. The property could continue in its current arrangement, be reconfigured as a substantial family home, or potentially accommodate alternative commercial or mixed-use opportunities, subject to any necessary consents. A unique opportunity to acquire a landmark Bishophill property in a highly sought-after central location.
