The layout and design of the property offers spacious living, further extended into the loft, creating well balanced and high-quality accommodation throughout.
The current owner has taken great care, consideration and attention to detail in maintaining a number of period architectural features, as well as sympathetically introducing modern period effect alternatives such as replacement double glazed sash windows. Extensive renovations include the installation of a new boiler, replacement roof, new kitchen, a new first floor cloakroom/WC as well as decoratively throughout.
The ground floor accommodation opens to an entrance vestibule and hallway with original mosaic tiling.
At the front elevation is the bay fronted sitting room boasting attractive cornicing, stripped hard wood flooring, and featuring a top of the range gas log effect stove. The room has been opened into the dining room, creating a light and airy living/dining space.
Beyond the dining room is a quality kitchen with a series of wall and base units incorporating a Neff integrated dishwasher and offering space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and range cooker. The shaker style units are contrasted by a butcher’s block work surface and white ceramic sink with drainer. There is also ample space within the kitchen for a breakfast table and chairs.
Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to a first floor landing off which are two double bedrooms together with a large house bathroom with Victorian style freestanding roll top bath and separate fully tiled shower with rain shower head, all decorated and finished to complement the property’s period charm. From here there is access via a drop down ladder to a boarded insulated storage space. In addition to the toilet in the bathroom is a separate cloakroom with WC which was built in as part of the renovations, also situated off the landing. The second bedroom has a painted original cast iron fireplace and picture rails, whilst the impressive, sizable master bedroom also has picture rails and decorative cornicing; and benefits from twin front elevation windows for plentiful light.
The attic has been converted to provide a third double bedroom. The bedroom has the advantage of a rear dormer offering both additional ceiling height as well as windows providing natural light in addition to that offered by a front aspect velux. This well considered adaption also boasts lots of storage both in the eaves as well handy shelved cupboards. There is also a view from here over the rooftops to York Minster.
