4 bedroom house

A four bedroom Victorian town house just a short stroll from the city centre and the railway station. For parking arrangements, please ask agent for further details.

This splendid end of terrace town house faces directly on to St Catherine’s Place at right angles to the bustle of Holgate Road. Dating from 1860 the character and charm of No. 47 have flourished under the tenure of recent owners who have creatively remodelled and renovated this fine Victorian property. No detail has been spared and all adjustments have been carried out with great consideration given to the age and provenance of the original building. Innovative touches abound, none more so than the formation of the sheltered inner courtyard garden which links multiple inside and outside spaces through its threefold access.

Entrance and staircase hall, kitchen breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom/wc, 2-3 reception rooms, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Inner courtyard garden

More Details - The bespoke, handmade kitchen has wood reclaimed from science laboratory worktops, quarry tile flooring, a Rangemaster cooker, a Victorian corner cupboard, a large kitchen island with electrics and plumbing for dishwasher, a ceramic Butler sink from Villeroy & Boch, and ample space for dining. There is a separate but adjoining utility area that complements the kitchen and has a Neptune Larder Cupboard, single ceramic Butler sink and bespoke stacked cupboard holding the washing machine and dryer. The magnificent family room has a raised pitched roof, oak flooring, smokeless multi-fuel stove, Velux windows and bi-fold doors that fully open to the paved inner courtyard. This outside space has plentiful natural light and is accessed from the kitchen, utility room and family room.

The first floor bedroom works equally well as a sitting room. It has original stripped floorboards, a superb working fireplace, custom moulded cornicing, fitted book shelves bought from the French House and originating from Ampleforth College, and a fine outlook along a Victorian streetscape. The en suite bathroom on the first floor has underflooring heating, a heated towel rail and mirror, a bath with hand-made curved panelling and a useful cupboard. On the second floor, the contemporary-styled family wet room has a heated mirror and serves two bedrooms.
