4 bedroom house for sale

Offered to the open market for the first time in over 40 years, 1 Fulford Park House is the largest and most distinguished of just four luxury townhouses forming an exclusive development in the heart of Fulford. Positioned at the junction of Main Street and Heslington Lane, this exceptional Georgian residence offers rare character, architectural grandeur, and a remarkable sense of history, dating back to before 1751 when it was acquired by William Richardson.

The property showcases a wealth of period features throughout, including detailed cornicing, original fireplaces, and a magnificent stained-glass window, while having been sympathetically modernised over the years to offer stylish and comfortable living.

The entrance vestibule, with its attractive tiled flooring, opens into a grand reception hall where the original sweeping staircase and an impressive stained-glass window – believed to be the largest within a residential property in York, immediately set the tone.

At the front, a modern fitted kitchen offers eye-level ovens, a ceramic hob, space for a breakfast table, and double doors leading to a generous walk-in pantry with fitted shelving. To the rear, a stunning drawing room features a tiled fireplace with open fire, a curved wall with windows, and French doors that open onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the space. Beyond this lies the formal dining room. This leads on to a ground floor WC, a useful storage room, and a secondary vestibule with access to a shared passageway.

The elegant accommodation continues across the upper floors. On the first floor, a large landing overlooking the stained-glass window provides a striking central space leading to the generous principal bedroom, which is served by a luxurious house bathroom. The second floor comprises another double bedroom, two further well-proportioned doubles, and a stylish, well-appointed shower room.

A garden room opens onto well maintained and beautifully landscaped gardens, offering a peaceful and private outdoor setting. To the rear, the garden leads to a private garage and allocated parking space.

The property also benefits from a large basement, currently unused, but offering exciting potential to be incorporated into the main living accommodation (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

This is a truly special opportunity to acquire a unique period home of rare scale and provenance, set within one of York’s most desirable locations, just moments from the city’s historic centre.
