Description

Located just off Haxby Road and within walking distance of York city centre, is this beautifully presented end Victorian terrace with the unique layout. Rare for properties of this age, this home offers a spacious plot with two forecourts and a large courtyard style garden to the rear with the added benefit of a larger than average garage. A much loved home for many years, this property has been well maintained throughout yet offers the scope for further modernisation and development (subject the relevant planning permissions).

Internally the property offers an entrance hall with partial Victorian tile flooring and a deep under stairs cupboard. To the right is the principal reception room with a large bay window overlooking the front forecourt and central fireplace with shelving either side. Across the hall is the second reception room with a stunning Victorian stove set within the chimney breast and another bay window allowing light to flood through. Recently updated, the kitchen, which is set at the rear of the property, comprises the range of wall and base units, stylish worktops and integrated appliances. The ground floor accommodation is completed by another hall which provides access into the utility room/w.c.

On the first floor are two spacious bedrooms and a three piece bathroom. To the front of the property is the principal bedroom with another Victorian fireplace and storage cupboard. There is another room on this floor can be utilised however the next owner wishes.

Outside the property offers two forecourts, a courtyard style garden and a garage with power and a small driveway to the front. On street parking is available on Fountayne Street and the neighbouring roads.

A unique property for its style and age, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that is on offer.
