A substantial Grade II listed Georgian townhouse offering over 2,300 sq ft across three floors, now with planning permission to convert from offices to a single residential dwelling. The house sits on The Mount, moments from the city walls and a five-minute walk to York station, with Bishopthorpe Road amenities and well-regarded schools close by — convenient for family life and easy commuting.
Accommodation is generous with four bedrooms and flexible room arrangements across approximately 14 rooms, a ground-floor kitchen and shower room, plus a first-floor WC and kitchenette. A private, walled courtyard provides an outdoor space with gated parking for up to four vehicles (leased separately for 974 years) accessed from the rear yard.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation work; the property has only one main bathroom; broadband speeds are very slow; and the parking spaces are leasehold with conditions preventing sub-letting or sale. Planning permission for residential use has been granted, but the property will need conversion works and likely refurbishment to create modern family living.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this is a rare central York opportunity for a buyer prepared to manage listed-building constraints and undertake refurbishment to unlock the property’s full residential potential. The location, scale and permitted change of use make it suitable for a family seeking a large period home close to city amenities and transport links.
