House For Sale £600,000
Description
Only moments from one of Europe's best preserved medieval shopping streets, The Shambles, and minutes' walk from the world's fourth oldest school, the prestigious St Peter's School, with its suntrap garden and spacious rooms, discover No. 15, Grosvenor Park, York.
Spacious home, superb setting
In walking distance by road or by riverbank to the centre of York, this three-storey Crosby Homes townhouse is found tucked back from Clifton Road, on the quieter side of the triangle of handsome and unique homes.
Park up in the garage, with electric up and over door with space for another car directly outside. Neat paving, box hedging and holly bushes stand to the front of No. 15, a handsome redbrick home whose illusory façade belies the spacious rooms within, extending over into the quirky connecting archway itself.
Making your way indoors, a preview of the scale and scope of this home is apparent in the high ceilings, affording an airy and spacious feel immediately upon arrival. Gleaming Amtico flooring extends out along the entrance hall, continuing throughout the downstairs rooms and much of the upper floors.
Versatile rooms
Open the door on the right to discover a versatile room, brimming with light from the morning sun which pours in through the large bay window to the front. Ideal for use as a work from home office, snug lounge, reading room, fifth bedroom or gym, the layout and flow of this home affords enormous versatility of use; each room can easily serve your needs.
Creamy, neutral shades adorn the walls, in keeping with the modern, minimalistic, clutter-free vibe felt throughout, as you make your way along the hallway, where a handy cloakroom on the right, tiled to the walls, contains a wash basin and WC.
Cook up a feast for family and friends in the kitchen-diner at the end of the entrance hallway. Granite-topped worktops offer plenty of preparation space, with ample storage in the surrounding cabinetry. Integrated appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, electric oven and gas hob with extractor hood.
Wine and dine
French doors open to the garden, leading to a private, paved and gravelled, low maintenance garden. Soaking up the sun in the lower portion of the garden from Easter through until late September, this sheltered garden retains the warmth courtesy of a large red wall running the length. Where better to enjoy pizza nights and barbecues. Subtle bin storage is concealed within a wooden surround, whilst recycling facilities are available in the communal area of the development. Soak up sun all day long in the front garden.
Returning indoors, take the stairs up from the entrance hall to the first floor, turning right to step into the lounge. Drawing in ample daylight through a window to the front, spotlighting shines down on the Amtico floor from within the cornice trimmed ceiling.
Step up to the rear, into the remarkable dining room, extending over the archway and transforming the space into an open-plan, versatile living-dining room.
Owner quote: "We've had great nights in the dining room, everybody is so shocked when they see how spacious the home really is inside."
Light-filled living
Across the landing, make your way into bedroom two, a bright room streaming with sunshine. With large wardrobes, this bedroom is perfect for children or guests.
From the landing, directly ahead of the stairs, ascend a few further stairs where refreshment awaits in the beautifully finished family bathroom. Soothingly spacious, Amtico flooring meets with wide slate-grey tiling to the walls. A splash of colour is infused along with ambient warmth from the contemporary heated towel radiator; a motif repeated in the surround to the broad mirror above the WC and wash basin with its wall mounted tap.
Soak & sleep
Soak away in the large freestanding bathtub or refresh your senses in the spacious walk-in shower, whose controls are cleverly positioned to allow you to set the temperature before stepping beneath the rainfall head. A separate handheld attachment also features.
Continue to ascend the main staircase, where the efficient, inexpensive running of the home is evident in the warmth and insulation - radiators are rarely required to be switched on in this area of the home.
Turning left, make your way into bedroom three, where views extend to the rooftops and ample storage can be found in the fitted wardrobes.
Owner quote: "This home affords children the opportunity to grow in their own space, with big bedrooms and separate spaces downstairs."
Across the landing, a fourth bedroom currently serves as a study, privately tucked away at the top of the home and with views out over the treetops and rooftops of the surrounding area.
Also nestled on the uppermost level is the main bedroom. Amtico flooring flows out underfoot, continuing through into the stylish ensuite. Designed in the same style as the main family bathroom, a large walk-in shower offers accessibly positioned controls allowing you to preset the temperature before stepping inside. There is also a heated towel radiator, vanity unit wash basin and WC. The LED cabinet also contains a 12V shaver socket.
Fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom provide plenty of storage, whilst the roof angles add an intimate and cosy feel.
Owner quote: "Space is a recurring theme in this home."
Overhead, loft space provides even more storage for Christmas decorations.
City living
Only a ten-minute walk from the vibrant centre of York, with its Roman roots and Viking past, the location of No. 15 Grosvenor Park could not be better; for couples of all ages and - particularly - for families.
No. 15 is around five minutes' walk from acclaimed independent educational establishment St Peter's School - one of the oldest schools in the world.
Founded in 627AD by St Paulinus of York - the same year and on the same site as York Minster - St Peter's has gone on to win countless awards, currently rated as 'Excellent' in all areas and named Pre-prep and Independent School of the Year in 2021. Bootham School is also close by, alongside Clifton Green Primary School and a number of state secondary schools.
Easily commutable from the main Clifton Road, you can also walk to York Station in around 20 minutes, where you can catch a mainline train service into London.
All the delights and distractions of this historic town are within a few minutes' walk, including the famous Shambles, York Minster, the National Railway Museum and Clifford's Tower (castle keep and former prison and mint).
Close by is a small parade of shops, with chemist, butchers' and local pub. Walk along the main road to M&S or stroll along the river. Close to Clifton Moor Retail Park and Monks Cross Shopping Park, all the supermarkets and major retail outlets you could wish for are within easy reach - alongside the community stadium football and rugby ground.
With plenty of clubs and societies to join for all ages, there is also the York Railway Institute sports complex nearby.
Spoiled for choice when it comes to eating and drinking out - sample all epicurean stylings from pizzerias to Michelin-starred dining in York. Evenings out are never dull with a range of theatres and art galleries all in walking distance.
Conveniently, York Hospital is also close by - walkable in ten minutes.
Versatile, spacious, with secure private parking and its own garden; No. 15, Grosvenor Park provides an oasis of calm in the city, close to the very best schools, shops and services. The perfect place to raise a family.
