A recently refurbished mid-terrace listed house in a superb position overlooking the River Ouse and within the city walls
Description
1 Friars is believed to date from the 1850’s and showcases a handsome façade with elegant proportions of that period, justifying the Grade II listing. The current vendors have transformed the property from top to bottom. This modernised townhouse has been sympathetically renovated and is an opportunity not to be missed with a fantastic location on York Riverside.
The accommodation is set across three floors. A beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen with modern integrated Siemens appliances and a boiling water tap, is of particular note, set on the ground floor with an adjoining garden room, sliding doors opening to the rear courtyard garden. A reception room is situated to the front of the house with an original large bay window, fireplace and exposed wood floors. There is a w.c. which completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, to the first floor, via the ornate staircase is a sitting room(bedroom) with original large sash windows and a fireplace, this room is to the front of the house and overlooks the River Ouse. Bedroom two and a separate toilet are also situated on this floor, to the rear of the property.
Two further bedrooms the largest with fabulous river views and the modern house bathroom with separate shower are located on the third floor. The fourth bedroom, to the rear boasts views towards Clifford’s Tower.
Outside, the private walled garden enjoys the morning sun and offers a low maintenance space with two stores and rear access. while to the front is a mediterranean style sun terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.
Location
The property is perfectly positioned within the city close to all the attractions including: York Theatre Royal, the Art Gallery, York Minster, Bettys Tea Rooms and the famous Shambles along with a range of local cafes, shops, restaurants, public houses and supermarkets.
The city boasts excellent restaurants including the award winning The Star Inn the City by Andrew Pern and the Michelin-starred restaurant, Roots, by Tommy Banks. In addition, there is Skosh by Neil Bentinck which also boasts a Michelin-star, positioned on popular Micklegate which also has a number of independent shops, pubs, cafes and hairdressers.
York’s mainline railway station is just over half a mile and offers regular services to major cities including Manchester, Edinburgh and London with some journeys taking less than two hours to Kings Cross. There is easy access to the A64 about three miles, for travel east to the coast and west towards Leeds and the M1.
