An imposing seven bedroom Victorian family home with ample parking and outside space within about half a mile of the city walls.

Description

St Peters Grove is a substantial Victorian detached residence situated in the sought after Bootham area of York.

Extending to over 6,000 square foot of flexible accommodation over three floors, the property has period features throughout including beautiful cornicing, original fireplaces and ornate tiles in the entrance hall.

Having been part-modernised by the current vendors there is still plenty of scope to further improve and create the perfect family home.

The well planned extensive ground floor accommodation provides an impressive 32 foot family room and a bright, spacious drawing room. The contemporary kitchen-dining room has built in appliances, space for a dining table and a sizeable bay window, allowing for plenty of light. Leading off the hallway is a separate utility room.

To the rear of the ground floor accommodation you will find a gym, cinema room, study and garden room, accompanied by two bathrooms. This area would lend itself well to annexed accommodation or similar.

The first floor houses the magnificent principal bedroom suite, with dressing room and space to create a large en suite bathroom. Also on this floor are bedroom two and bedroom three which also has an en suite.

On the second floor are four further bedrooms, three with en suite bathrooms, bedroom six features a dressing room and bedroom seven also has a dressing area.

Externally there is a generous driveway with ample parking for several cars and a private lawned garden to the rear, flanked by mature trees and shrubbery.
