Introducing The Knoll — an exceptional and unique early 20th-century residence, brought to the market for the first time in over two decades. Commissioned for a senior Rowntree figure, this distinguished Edwardian detached family home blends architectural heritage with nearly an acre of mature gardens, offering a rare opportunity for those seeking space, character and excellent access to York.
Ideally positioned for the city centre, York Station and major road links, the property also sits close to everyday amenities, with bus routes and the Park & Ride nearby.
The house retains an impressive array of original features, including servants’ bells, ornate plasterwork, an exceptional mahogany staircase, curved and square bays with leaded sash windows, porthole windows, window seats, exposed beams and original timber floors.
A covered veranda opens into a striking double-height reception hall with a galleried landing and stunning 1906 mosaic floor. The formal dining room features checkerboard parquet flooring, an inglenook fireplace and a south-facing bay. The spacious kitchen and breakfast room enjoys garden views and includes a gas Aga, island, granite worktops and custom seating, with a utility, boot room and study alongside.
The sitting room offers a working log burner and south-facing bay, while the drawing room opens to a study with mahogany bookcases, an east-facing bay and French doors to the garden. A home office completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are five generous bedrooms, some with fitted wardrobes and period fireplaces, along with a recently fitted four-piece bathroom and Jack & Jill shower room. A substantial boarded loft provides excellent storage and future potential (STP).
Outside, elegant wrought-iron gates open to a tree-lined driveway leading to the double garage, outbuildings and an all-season summer house. The gardens wrap around the property, with lawns, mature planting, a pergola walkway, a formal pond area and a walled garden.
Compliance - Agents are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those buying a property. We outsource the initial checks to a partner supplier, Coadjute, who will contact you once you have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £40 + VAT per person. This is a non-refundable fee. These charges cover the cost of obtaining relevant data, any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid, and the checks completed in advance of the office issuing a memorandum of sale on the property you would like to buy.

About this agent
Hunters estate and letting agent in York have grown to be one of the largest and most trusted Estate Agents in York. The average house price in York is around £190,000. Typically, you can buy a nice 2/3 bed property in the City Centre for this figure or a nice 3-bed semi detatched just outside of the city. Properties in the city range from lovely apartments and Victorian townhouses close to the medieval streets in the centre, to lovely suburban, tree-lined avenues only a mile or so from the centre. There are many larger homes in the area and it is not uncommon for agents in the city to be handling properties in excess of £1m. We also have lots of great properties to let in York and know that there is high demand from tenants, so we work really hard to ensure we match tenants with fantastic properties that meet their requirements. The rental market in York is very buoyant at the moment and we work closely with the area's big employers, along with the universities who bring a lot of tenants to the City. This means it’s a great time to invest in rental property as there are lots of investment opportunities for landlords offering safe returns and high capital values. Hunters Lettings have a dedicated Accounts and Maintenance department, we are here to support each other to ensure the service provided to you as a Landlord or a Tenant during a tenancy runs smoothly.
