An iron gate opens into a spacious courtyard that leads to the front door of this attractive period home. Inside, a long reception hall creates a welcoming first impression, with doors leading to the main living spaces and stairs rising to the upper floors.

At the front of the house is a cosy living room with a large sash window overlooking the courtyard and a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, giving the room plenty of warmth and character. Next door is a generous dining room featuring an alcove with an AGA cooker and French doors opening onto the rear courtyard. Tiled flooring runs through into the adjoining galley-style kitchen, which is fitted with a Belfast sink, timber worktops, and space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. Beyond the kitchen is a small lobby area and a useful ground-floor cloakroom.

The first floor offers a double bedroom, a smaller second bedroom, and a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. On the top floor there are two further double bedrooms, both with Velux roof lights, along with convenient under-eaves storage.

The property is located on Heslington Road, just outside York’s historic city walls and within easy reach of the city centre’s shops, restaurants, and amenities. University of York is also a short distance away, making the location particularly convenient.
