House For Sale £435,000
Lower Priory Street, York, YO1

A charming period townhouse in Bishophill, one of York’s most sought-after locations, within the Historic Core Conservation Area. Larger than many houses in the neighbourhood, the property has been carefully restored and is beautifully presented throughout.

Facing the ancient bar walls, the location provides quick access to the railway station and all the amenities the city has to offer, including the nearby highly-regarded Bishopthorpe Road shops, bars and restaurants. With access to the property on a no through road, the location is remarkably peaceful, given its central position.

Internally the ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with mosaic tiled floor leading to the impressive open plan double reception room. This light and airy space is perfect for entertaining with two traditional fireplaces and access to the courtyard.

Beyond the dining room is the kitchen, fitted with a range of quality contemporary wall and base units with integrated appliances including an oven, hob with filter hood, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer in addition to a useful breakfast bar. A cloakroom with WC, hand basin, washing machine and the central heating boiler, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the first floor landing and two double bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom offers built in wardrobes either side of the original fireplace, and has remarkable views of the city walls. The second bedroom is to the rear of the property and also features a fireplace adding character and charm. Off the airy landing is an attractive shower room with large walk-in shower, wash basin set in a granite top, WC and underfloor heating.

To the rear is a completely private, easy to maintain, courtyard garden accessed from both the kitchen and dining room. Residents’ permit parking is available to the front of the property and surrounding area.

In summary, a tastefully renovated and upgraded property, which has retained an abundance of charm with the benefits of modern convenience, choicely situated in a wonderful tranquil setting facing south directly to the grassed banks of the medieval walls, with an avenue of cherry trees. Offered with the convenience of vacant possession and no forward chain.
