Large six-bedroom Victorian townhouse with courtyard, ripe for sympathetic refurbishment close to Bishopthorpe Road..
Unmodernised late-Victorian townhouse with strong period features
An unmodernised late-Victorian townhouse offering expansive, flexible accommodation across three floors — ideal for a growing family or buyer seeking a renovation project with considerable room. The house retains strong period character: high ceilings, bay windows, decorative moldings and well-proportioned reception rooms, which provide an excellent base for sensitive restoration.
The layout currently includes six double bedrooms (each with en suite), two formal reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a private walled courtyard. Its elevated position on Albemarle Road places it within easy walking distance of Bishopthorpe Road’s shops and cafés, Rowntree Park and central York attractions — a definite lifestyle advantage for family life.
Practical considerations: the property needs a programme of refurbishment and modernisation, and the walls are solid brick (likely lacking cavity insulation). EPC D indicates scope to improve energy efficiency. Windows are double glazed but install dates are unknown. These factors will influence running costs and renovation budget.
This house suits buyers who want to create a distinctive family home in a desirable, affluent part of York, or investors with appetite for refurbishment. The generous internal space and central location give strong potential for value uplift once updated, but the scale of works should be budgeted carefully before purchase.
