A substantial late-Victorian detached family house offering almost 2,000 sq ft of flexible living space in a prime position just off Acomb Green. Large, elegant rooms with high ceilings and sash windows create a bright, gracious interior arranged over two main floors — four double bedrooms (two with en suites), three reception rooms and a dedicated home office provide room for family life, home working and entertaining.
The kitchen/family room opens directly to mature, thoughtfully landscaped gardens with lawn, established borders and fruit trees — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. Off-street parking is provided to the side, and the house enjoys pleasant views towards the Green and the cricket club. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern home working and streaming.
The property retains genuine period character and substantial room proportions but would benefit from some updating and investigation of the fabric: solid brick construction (pre‑1900) likely lacks wall insulation, and windows/other elements show traditional specification. Council tax and local crime levels are above average; the surrounding area is described as having pockets of deprivation despite excellent local amenities and good nearby schools.
This home will suit families seeking generous, characterful accommodation in a village‑like conservation area close to York city centre and the station. Buyers should account for potential refurbishment costs to improve thermal efficiency and bring services to contemporary standards while enjoying a rare, sizable plot and versatile internal layout.
