2 bedroom terraced house

A charming two-bedroom terrace property within walking distance of both the railway station and York city centre.

Dating from the late 19th century and constructed of attractive brick under a slate roof, the layout and design of the property is very representative of many of the fine terraces built at that time on the edge of the city centre.

The property is offered in superb condition throughout, including replacement double glazed sash windows.

Arranged over two floors, the ground floor accommodation consists of an entrance hallway with solid wood flooring which continues into an open plan lounge and dining room. This tastefully decorated area is both spacious while maintaining a cosy feel and benefits from a feature log burning stove inset to an exposed brick breast, offering an attractive focal point. To the rear of the property is the kitchen with quarry tiled flooring and a series of wall and base units and sink with a breakfast bench under the window.

Stairs from the entrance hallway lead first to a half landing off which is the bathroom suite with decorative floor tiling, bath with shower over, WC and basin. The stairs then continue to the first-floor landing with two well-proportioned double bedrooms including the master bedroom spanning the width of the house. In addition, the loft is accessed via a pull-down ladder and has been boarded with eves storage, velux windows offering natural light and so can be used as an occasional hobby space or office.

Externally is a well-maintained walled courtyard garden with brick-built store and further wood store with decked roof, designed as a raised seating area, ideal for al-fresco dining as enjoys a sunny south-west facing aspect.

In summary, a superb period property in a choice location which has been extremely well maintained and is offered in a walk-in condition.
