More Details - No. 26 New Walk Terrace retains many period features including the original Victorian wrought-iron railings and a four-panelled front door with brass furniture and glazed overlight; inside there are exposed floorboards, stripped panelled doors with architraves, open fires, sash windows, working shutters, ceiling cornice and picture rails.

The ground floor has been extended to create additional living space with a large roof lantern that floods this room and the connecting dining room with natural light. The fitted galley kitchen has a large Belfast sink, tiled floor, deep pantry and useful hatch. Alongside is the utility room and wc with original wooden lead-lined JapKap cistern. A rear door opens to the enclosed courtyard. The dining room has a gas fire and the sitting room an open fire housed within a decorative mosaic surround and cupboards to either side. This delightful front room also has a deep bay window with the original shutters and faces south over the attractive garden to the Twelve Apostles beyond.

The 17ft principal bedroom has an ornate fireplace and pair of south facing windows; the second bedroom is a generous double also with a pretty cast iron bedroom fireplace. Both are served by a family bathroom with claw foot cast-iron bath. A decorative spiral staircase rises to the second floor room lit by three Velux windows, ideal as a superb home office but also suitable as an occasional guest bedroom.

Outside - The attractive south facing front garden is enclosed by wrought-iron railings. An area of lawn along with planted beds and mature shrubs provide a pleasant area for sitting out. To the rear of the house is a secure courtyard ideal for storage and providing pedestrian access. CCTV cameras overlook the front and rear doors.

The property is convenient for a range of excellent schools, both state and independent. Fishergate has many local amenities with the Barbican Centre, Yorks biggest music and arts venue, close by as well as a number of green open spaces.
