Clifton, York

Truly one of a kind, 4 Clifton is an exceptional late Georgian Regency townhouse occupying one of York's finest residential positions, just outside Bootham Bar. Combining original character with approximately 4,000 sq ft of sympathetically maintained accommodation, a substantial private garden, private driveway and three car garage, this Grade II listed house offers a remarkable opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in the heart of York.

Believed to have been built around 1825 by Thomas Bell and William Belleby, the property retains an abundance of original features, including classic proportions, high ceilings and fine period detailing throughout. Located within walking distance of Bootham Bar, the Museum Gardens, the riverside, York city centre and York Railway Station via a pedestrian bridge, it enjoys one of the city's most sought-after addresses while remaining close to independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

This exceptional home offers highly versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. From the centre of the elegant reception hall, a stunning staircase rises through the light filled home. To the ground floor are two reception rooms overlooking the historic Grange, a study, a spacious breakfast kitchen with adjoining utility and storage rooms and a cloakroom.

The first floor features a grand drawing room with an adjoining sitting room, along with the principal bedroom with a Jack and Jill en suite bathroom. Across the two floors above are five further well-proportioned and spacious bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and an additional en suite.

Completing the home is a substantial cellar providing excellent practicality and extensive storage space.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. To the front is a charming forecourt garden, behind wrought iron railings, framed by mature climbing hydrangeas.

To the rear lies an exceptionally large, fully enclosed walled garden, offering privacy and tranquillity. A paved terrace sits immediately behind the property, leading onto expansive lawned gardens with an abundance of mature trees, established planting and a variety of fruit trees. Despite just moments from York city centre, the garden is wonderfully secluded, with an almost rural feel.

At the far end of the garden is an open recreational space with a further walled courtyard, providing access to the substantial garage and turning and parking area. Vehicular access is provided via a private lane running from Clifton alongside the property, an exceptionally rare feature for such a central location.
