A grand townhouse set within this striking development within the city centre

Description

The Purey Cust is a bespoke development of just nine houses converted in 2012 within the shadow of the iconic York Minister. This is arguably the best address in York, situated in the very heart of the city and tucked away from the hustle and bustle behind electric gates.

6 The Purey Cust is an elegant four/five bedroom townhouse offering substantial accommodation with fine period features arranged over five floors occupying an enviable position within the city centre. The property was purchased as a blank canvas and has undergone a full program of renovation works and a stunning refurbishment, with great attention to detail and utilising the best materials and design.

An impressive entrance hallway sets the scene for what is a grand house in a magnificent location. There are two fine light filled reception rooms on the ground floor with large sash windows. A beautiful and well-designed bespoke kitchen with utility room is situated to the rear of the house with French doors leading to the walled courtyard garden. A w.c. completes the ground floor. In addition, there is a basement offering further storage.

To the first floor is the elegant siting room flooded with light through large sash windows and double doors opening to the bar room, ideal for entertaining. There is a second bedroom suite, house bathroom and study to the rear of the first floor.

The generous principal bedroom suite is arranged on the second floor with a wonderful modern en suite bathroom and dressing area. Two further bedrooms and a shower room complete the accommodation on this floor. Stairs lead up to the loft space with two useful store rooms.

The property benefits from secure gated parking for four cars to the front of the development, a rarity for such a central location.
