Uniquely named ‘1/2’, Half, St Andrewgate was designed by renowned architect Thomas Adams, whose signature black cats adorn buildings across the city, forming The York Cat Trail.

Half itself has a kitten on the side of the house and is tucked behind Kings Square, next to the world famous Shambles within the walls of the city of York.

The property offers well balanced accommodation and is immaculately presented throughout. The current owner has previously used the house as a family home for over 8 years and for the past year it has been ran successfully as a holiday let securing 100% 5 star reviews……

Opening to the front, the property begins with an entrance hallway with decorative tiled flooring, off which is a spacious double bedroom with built in storage. This nicely appointed room offers any number of flexible uses including a home office as we all become more accustomed to the idea of working remotely from home. Also off the hallway is a utility room with provisions for washing and drying appliances and includes a sink. There is also a modern bathroom on the ground floor. 

Stairs lead to a first-floor landing and into the open plan living area with kitchen. The lounge is at the front elevation and has Juliet balcony and is light and airy. The kitchen is well designed and laid out and as such there is ample space for a breakfast table. There are a series of wall and base units and include an integrated fridge/freezer, eye level oven and grill as well as a gas hob with extractor and space for a dishwasher.

On the second floor is a large master bedroom with balcony to the front elevation as well as a contemporary shower suite. A further bedroom is situated on the third floor and is bathed in natural light from Velux windows, through which is a stunning view onto the Minster.

In summary, a city town house offering well balanced accommodation in an enviable location.

The property is situated in the centre of the historical city of York. Famed for its city walls and York Minster, one of Europe’s largest cathedrals of its kind, York is one of the countries most visited locations, attracting those looking to take advantage of the many bars, restaurants, historic and cultural attractions the city offers. The mainline train station offers services to London in under two hours and road links mean nearby cities such as Leeds and Harrogate are easily reached.

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.

 

Mr M Peacock

We consider Lancaster Samms the gold standard

Having worked with a number of estate agents over the years, we consider Lancaster Samms the gold standard. We bought a house with Elkie, who was extraordinarily dedicated, efficient and reliable throughout.

 

We had an extremely difficult sale on our side and the chain was in danger of collapse more than once, but it was Elkie’s care and attention that held everything together for us and for her clients.

We are eternally grateful and would never go anywhere else now!
