Extremely rare opportunity to acquire this Landmark Grade 1 Listed Georgian mansion dating to 1710 and once home to the Duke of Cumberland. Largely unspoiled, the property offers enormous potential to create one of York's best private houses (Subject to planning approval)
Proposed Accommodation will Comprise:-
Entrance hall, 3 reception rooms, kitchen, study, WC, master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, 6 further bedrooms, 2 further bathrooms
Internal courtyard accessed from kitchen, Private Parking
Cumberland House dates to around 1710 and was built by former Sheriff and Lord Mayor, William Cornwall. It was home to the Duke of Cumberland on his return from Culloden in 1746 and enjoys impressive rooms of near perfect proportions. It is quite rightly Grade 1 Listed, considered to be of exceptional national, architectural or historical importance.
The property has been in the ownership of a prominent York legal firm since 1969 and remains largely unspoiled with the principal rooms retaining original panelling, fireplaces and decorative plasterwork. Stud walls have been used to the upper floors, and planning consent has been applied for to return the property to a more traditional residential footprint.
The versatile accommodation extends to just under 6,000 square feet and is currently arranged over 3 floors with a splendid turned timber staircase at its heart. The current configuration remains as offices and presents an exciting opportunity to create a significant family home (subject to planning approval)
Outside, there is access to a raised basement with internal brick vaulted ceiling, shouldered lintel and round-headed openings. We are advised that this area has previously been utilised for parking and storage.
Agents Note:- The property flooded into the raised ground floor in 2000 and 2015.
