A substantial five bedroom period townhouse situated in the popular Heworth area, just a short walk from York city centre. Arranged over three floors, the property has been extremely well cared for and presents as a large and practical home with an abundance of character. The layout and design of the property is very representative of many of the fine period homes built on the edge of the city centre, and provides quite exceptional accommodation.

The accommodation comprises an impressive hallway leading to the principal reception rooms including the bay fronted lounge and dining room, both with superb fireplaces and ornate original features. The centerpiece of the sociable kitchen breakfast room is the Rayburn range cooker, complimented by a quality range of fitted wall and base units, a large pantry and space for a table and chairs. A cloakroom W C completes the downstairs space.

Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to a landing and accommodation that includes four well proportioned bedrooms and house bathroom with separate W C. The master is of particular note and offers quite exceptional space spanning the width of the house. The top floor double bedroom includes an en suite shower room.

Externally, the property is set back from the road and sits proudly behind wrought iron railings and large forecourt. The south facing rear courtyard is fortunate enough to enjoy a good level of privacy, the ideal spot for al fresco dining during the warmer months.

In summary, a substantial townhouse on the edge of the city boasting characterful features inside and out.
