5 bedroom end of terrace house

Set at the end of a handsome Victorian terrace on one of York’s most desirable residential streets, this light-filled and beautifully proportioned end-of-terrace home offers elegant accommodation across three floors. Boasting a wealth of original features and a thoughtfully extended ground floor layout, this superb property combines timeless period charm with practical modern living — just a short riverside walk from York city centre.

Behind wrought iron railings and a dwarf brick wall, the tiled entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway with the original Victorian tiled floor. To the front, the spacious lounge enjoys a large bay window, ornate ceiling cornicing, and a striking period fireplace, making for a warm and refined reception space. To the rear, a second sitting room with French doors to the garden and a second feature fireplace offers further versatility.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, fitted with solid wood painted units, wooden work surfaces, Belfast sink, and a traditional Aga set beneath a decorative mantle. Beyond, an extended dining area features a roof lantern and sliding doors onto the south-facing courtyard, creating a light and sociable space perfect for entertaining. A separate utility, WC, and pantry add further practicality, while the cellar beneath the original footprint provides useful storage.

To the first floor, the large principal bedroom spans the full width of the house with a bay window, additional sash window, and original fireplace with marble surround. A further double bedroom, an office/single bedroom, and a well-appointed family bathroom complete this floor.

The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, both with original fireplaces and sash windows, along with a modern three-piece shower room, generous eaves storage, and a skylight providing natural light.

Externally, the rear courtyard garden is a true highlight — a private, south-facing space offering a peaceful and secluded setting.
