Description

St. Saviours House is a wonderful period property, set within the quiet Aldwark Conservation area, that has recently undergone a sympathetic renovation.

The House is next door to the very fine Peasholme house built in 1751, and now owned by the York Civic Trust. It is attributed to the York architect John Carr, who also designed Fairfax House and Harewood House. In 1779 a coach house, stable, and hay chamber of that property were converted into a three storey detached house for the Reverend Thomas Mosely, which became St Saviours House.

The current owners have refurbished throughout to an exceptionally high standard, capturing the perfect balance between old and new. The property retains some original features, such as high ceilings and sash windows. Throughout the renovation, all the services have been modernised with new electrics, plumbing, heating and insulation.

The ground floor accommodation offers a new kitchen by Laura Ashley with fitted Neff appliances, Blomberg integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer along with a Capel extractor fan.

Adjacent to the kitchen dining room is the sitting room, which leads through to the garden room with French doors to the private south facing walled courtyard.

Within the basement is a good sized beamed family room and toilet which completes this floor.

The central staircase leads up to the first floor landing where there are two bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. The larger room, at various times, has been used both as an upstairs sitting room or a bedroom, with views of York Minster.

The second floor accommodates the principal bedroom with views towards York Minster, a fourth bedroom and a modern bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

The small sunny rear courtyard is 6m x 2.4 m (20’ x 8ft). It is brick paved, with ample room for your own al Fresco dining, barbecue, or pizza oven.

There is a valuable resident's parking scheme available to the property with parking in St Saviours Place, Peasholme Green and St Saviourgate.
