This appealing three-bedroom period townhouse on Bewlay Street blends original Victorian character with a contemporary, open-plan living heart. The front reception rooms retain ornate fireplaces, high ceilings and a bay window that floods the living room with light, while the master bedroom offers built-in wardrobes. A modern family bathroom plus a ground-floor shower room off the utility area add practical flexibility for family life or guests.
The lower-ground open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the home's standout: a well-appointed kitchen with central island, built-in appliances and a dual-fuel Smeg range creates a sociable hub leading to a south-facing enclosed courtyard. The private rear courtyard is low-maintenance and sunny, offering an easy outdoor retreat within walking distance of Rowntree Park, local cafes and good schools.
Practical notes: the house is freehold, gas-heated via boiler and radiators, and offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls assumed to have no added insulation, and is rated EPC D. Parking is on-street only; there is a small forecourt only. The area is popular and close to the city centre and train station, but local crime rates are above average — buyers should consider this when comparing neighbourhoods.
Overall, this is a ready-to-move-in period home for a family seeking generous room sizes, original features and a contemporary kitchen/dining space in a highly convenient York location. It will particularly suit buyers who value character, walkability and a low-maintenance garden, while those seeking fully insulated walls or private off-street parking should factor in potential upgrades.
