Set over five floors and extending to over 3,300 sq ft, this refurbished Mount Vale townhouse balances period proportions with contemporary fittings. The house offers five ensuite bedrooms, a principal suite with dressing area, and multiple reception rooms that suit flexible family life or high-end sharers. A bespoke Chappel timber kitchen, large family room and lower-ground garden room provide well-planned living space and natural light.
Externally there is a lawned rear garden and an elevated paved front courtyard, plus a garage, private parking and an EV charger. The location is a major draw: direct outlook across Knavesmire and easy walking access to York city centre, the train station and the racecourse, making commuting and leisure straightforward.
Practical points are clear and factual: the house is newly renovated so most finishes are recent, but the property may be Grade II listed which can restrict structural alterations. Broadband speeds are reported slow; this may affect home-working without a specialist solution. Council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the size and status of the home.
Overall, the house will suit a large family or professionals seeking character, generous room sizes and excellent local amenities, provided they accept the urban garden scale and take steps to mitigate slower broadband where needed.
