Situated on a desirable stretch of Scarcroft Hill, this elegant five-bedroom terraced house blends Edwardian character with a high-quality contemporary extension. The house offers generous family living across 2,371 sq ft, including an impressive open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with rooflights and glazed doors that open onto a private, well-screened rear garden. Practical touches such as underfloor heating in the kitchen, dining room, utility and principal en suite, plus electric Velux windows and automated blinds, make daily life comfortable and low-effort.
Period features remain intact in the formal reception rooms — a large bay window, decorative cornicing and a marble fireplace — while bespoke joinery and sympathetic finishes deliver modern convenience. The principal bedroom suite on the first floor benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete that level, with two additional double bedrooms and another en suite on the second floor ideal for older children or guests.
Set just outside York’s historic walls, the location is a major draw: short walks to parks (Little Knavesmire/Knavesmire), Scarcroft Primary School, and Bishopthorpe Road’s cafés and shops, with the city centre and train station within easy walking distance. The house is freehold and rated EPC C.
Notable practical considerations: the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated (as built), which may present an opportunity for thermal improvements; the plot is small for the scale of the house, and being a mid-terrace means limited side access. Overall this home will suit families wanting period charm combined with bright, contemporary living in one of York’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
