A much cherished home of one of Yorks most popular throughfares. Hansom and elegant and packed with period features.

 

Dating from the turn of the century and constructed of attractive red brick under a slate roof, the layout and design of the property is very representative of many of the fine townhouses built at that time on the edge of the city centre. The property has been very well cared for and boasts plentiful period features including fireplaces and alcoves, sash windows, decorative coving and deep skirtings.

 

Sat back handsomely from the road in a prominent position, the property opens to an entrance vestibule and into a hallway off which are the principal reception rooms. To the front is the bay fronted lounge boasting high ceilings and centred upon a beautiful cast iron fireplace with ornate surround. Also off the hallway is a second reception room, traditionally used as a formal dining room which also has an attractive fireplace at the heart of the room. The deceptively spacious kitchen has a series of matching wall and base units with built in appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny garden room/sitting area with patio doors out to the garden. A rear porch off the kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation.

 

Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to a first floor split level landing with four bedrooms including the Master which spans the width of the house and has an en-suite with bath and sink. The second bedroom offers as a superb double room with fireplace, whilst the third and fourth bedrooms are linked, creating a flexible space which could be utilised as a bedroom with adjoining study or nursery. There are also sinks in both the second bedroom and the rear bedroom with a family bathroom also situated on the first floor.

 

Externally to the front is a large forecourt with dwarf wall and cast-iron railings and gate, with mature shrubs and path leading to the house. To the side of the house is a space used for off road parking and a courtesy gate into the garden. The private walled garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted borders and patio seating areas, ideally positioned to enjoy the westerly aspect offering sun into the early evenings during the spring and summer months. There are two brick stores offering useful storage as well as an outside WC. Beyond the garden and accessed to the side of the house on a private road is a detached garage with additional parking to the front.

Lancaster Samms are by far the best Estate Agents I have ever worked with

Neil really went the extra mile in getting my mum’s house on the market and then getting it sold.

Neil was knowledgeable, reassuring, hard-working, and incredibly thoughtful to both us and the buyers. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Elkie was absolutely brilliant from start to finish

I recently bought a house through Lancaster Samms.  My estate agent was Elkie. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. An absolute joy to deal with, so much so I would now consider her a friend.  She was so professional keeping me in the loop of a very long probate sale.

Over the course of many months, Elkie met me at the house several times so that I could organise the future renovation work. She was always happy to help.
House buying can be overwhelming sometimes however Elkie always made me feel calm and she was a pleasure to work with.

I am now the owner of the house that I fell in love with on day one. I couldn’t be happier!

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family

Just sold my late mums bungalow with Elkie from Lancaster Samms.

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family. Would 100% recommend using them .
Thank you once again Elkie for going over and beyond to make the selling process stress free.

Mrs V Clint

We felt like we were Elkie's only customers

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Elkie at Lancaster Samms for the highest standard of customer service she provided during our sale.

We had the smoothest, no stress sale you could possibly have wanted, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Elkie lead us through the whole process from beginning to end with ease.  She was always contactable, never left us hanging and kept us updated throughout, no matter how small the detail.  She answered all our questions, no matter how trivial.

We highly recommend Elkie and Lancaster Samms as the Estate Agents to go to.

Lancaster Samms are pure gold.

A good estate agent is like gold dust – rare, hard to find but extremely valuable.

Lancaster Samms are pure gold. Professional, timely, proactive, trustworthy and a million miles apart from your ‘typical’ estate agents. I would absolutely use them again. Special mention to Elkie, our closer, who is the Ray Donovan of the York real estate community i.e. a professional fixer. I imagine a significant number of conveyancing transactions have completed only because of her expertise in helping sellers (and buyers) navigate an often frustrating process.
