Norfolk Street, York

Positioned within one of the city’s most sought-after residential areas, this elegant three-bedroom period home dates back to 1910 and beautifully combines original character with a high-quality contemporary finish. Having undergone a comprehensive renovation, together with a thoughtfully designed loft conversion, the property now provides approximately 1,400 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.

A wealth of period features has been carefully retained, including impressive ceiling heights, original sash windows, decorative coving and traditional fireplaces, creating a wonderful sense of character throughout. The welcoming entrance hall features original tiled flooring and leads into a spacious sitting room, where a large bay window provides an attractive focal point and floods the room with natural light.

To the rear is an exceptional kitchen, finished to a high standard and centred around a substantial island incorporating a double butler sink. A range of integrated appliances complements the cabinetry, while the adjoining family room provides a relaxed and versatile space for dining, entertaining and everyday family life. A useful downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor provides two generous bedrooms, both benefiting from excellent proportions, with the principal of the two retaining an attractive original fireplace and built-in storage. The beautifully appointed family bathroom has been refitted with contemporary metro tiling and luxury finishes, creating a stylish and relaxing space.

The second-floor loft conversion has created a particularly impressive principal bedroom, offering a bright and spacious retreat with built-in wardrobes, a large Velux window and a stylish en-suite shower room. A further window to the rear ensures the room enjoys an abundance of natural light, together with pleasant views across the surrounding area.

Externally, the property is approached via an attractive forecourt enclosed by traditional iron railings, adding further to its period appeal. To the rear is a private, walled courtyard garden incorporating a paved patio and lawn, complemented by raised beds filled with flowering plants. The enclosed setting creates a peaceful and inviting outdoor space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. There is a large wooden store for storage also.
