A beautifully restored five bedroom townhouse situated on one of the most sought-after streets in York.
Description
120 Bishopthorpe Road is a beautifully restored Edwardian townhouse, which has undergone an extensive renovation by its current owners who have spared no expense in making the wonderful home it is.
The property is arranged over three floors and spans over 2,500 square feet. The property retains many of its period features such as its original stain glass windows, high ceilings and Edwardian floor tiles, cornicing and original staircase.
The sitting room is filled with an abundance of light from the beautiful bay window and centering the room is a marvellous original open fireplace. The family room is an inviting space with a newly fitted log burner, that opens up into kitchen. The heart of the home is the recently extended kitchen diner, the bespoke kitchen has been designed and fitted by a local independent company; Cookhouse Design and is equipped with all Neff appliances.
It has been specifically designed with the concept of entertaining family and friends. Leading through the French doors you are invited into the charming walled courtyard, where sunlight graces the space all day from dawn until late evening, creating an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen there is a W.C. and utility room which completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is via an elegant staircase, hosting a spacious principal bedroom with a particular highlight of a large bay window overlooking Bishopthorpe Road. There are two good sized bedrooms with views overlooking Rowntree Park to the back. Additionally, there is a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate W.C.
On the second floor there is a modern walk-in shower room and two double bedrooms, with bedroom four benefitting from a large walk-in wardrobe.
