Description

Located within this pretty treelined Avenue, is this wonderful three bedroom detached home. Originally built as a farmhouse, this charming property offers a range of period features throughout and enjoys an enviable plot with mature front and rear gardens. Severus Avenue is within the popular residential setting of Acomb, and is a short distance from the varied amenities York Road and Front Street have to offer, and benefits from regular bus connections to York City centre and train station. Offered with no onward chain, early viewing is essential to appreciate this lovely period home.

Internally, the property comprises a small entrance hall, which leads into the generous living room to the right. Enjoying a central fireplace, this room also boasts expansive windows to the front and rear allowing natural light to flood through throughout the day. Across the hall is the open plan dining kitchen with a woodburning stove and a pretty shaker style kitchen to the rear. The kitchen itself offers plenty of storage by way of multiple wall and base units and there is enough space for a variety of freestanding white goods.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms with two of the three boasting original cupboards. The internal accommodation is completed by the most generous three piece bathroom which could easily be reconfigured into a four piece with a freestanding bath.

Enjoying wonderful gardens to the front and rear, this property is enclosed with tall hedge boundaries allowing for privacy. In the rear garden, there is a pond, lawn, patio areas and two outbuildings for storage. To the front of the property is a mature and well-maintained front garden with a path leading up the side of the property. The curb has already been dropped by the current owner, so there is potential to create off street parking (subject to the relevant planning permissions brackets).

A charming farmhouse, located in the popular setting of Acomb. Offered with no onward chain. Viewing is essential.

In summary of charming farmhouse, located in the popular setting of Acomb. Offered with no onward chain, early viewing is essential.
