Weymouth, Dorset, DT4 7QQ

Built in 1798 as officers' accommodation for the Royal Radipole Cavalry Barracks, York Villa is a distinguished Grade II Listed home whose Georgian character has been carefully preserved and restored over the years, with a wealth of period detailing continuing to tell the story of its remarkable past.

Rich in history yet thoughtfully adapted for modern family living, it offers over 2,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, where period craftsmanship remains at the heart of everyday life.

Stepping through the front door, the impressive HALL immediately reveals the elegance of the home.

Graceful archways, high ceilings, decorative cornicing and deep skirting boards create a wonderful first impression, while beautifully tall windows draw natural light into the rooms.

Throughout the house, original and period features provide subtle reminders of its remarkable past, while the versatile arrangement lends itself beautifully to modern family life.

The SITTING ROOM is a particularly inviting space, retaining an original servants' bell together with a serving hatch connecting to a storage cupboard within the DINING ROOM, fascinating details that hint at how the house once operated.

A cozy conservatory area extends towards the garden, with a sloping, glazed roof bringing additional light into the room and a doorway providing direct access outside, creating a lovely connection between the house and garden.

Further along the hall, the second RECEPTION ROOM is another attractive and versatile space, distinguished by its beautiful bay window and period fireplace.

Currently arranged as a home office, its generous dimensions allow it to adapt easily as family needs change, perhaps becoming a formal sitting room, playroom or additional snug.

Towards the rear, the KITCHEN provides generous worktop space alongside ample cabinetry, with windows overlooking the garden.

The adjoining DINING ROOM offers plenty of room for a substantial dining table and is given further character by its attractive brick fireplace.

Nearby, BEDROOM FOUR adds valuable flexibility to the ground-floor accommodation and could equally lend itself to use as a study, snug, hobbies room or guest bedroom.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a generous retreat, with an elegant decorative cast iron fireplace forming a lovely focal point and two impressive floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards providing excellent built-in storage.

An ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM completes the room. A further DOUBLE BEDROOM is also positioned on the ground floor, together with the FAMILY BATHROOM, fitted with a bath and shower over.

Stairs rise to BEDROOM THREE, a wonderfully spacious room tucked beneath the roofline, with extensive built-in storage and windows overlooking the garden.

Its position on the first floor gives it a pleasing sense of privacy, while use of the FAMILY BATHROOM below completes the four-bedroom arrangement.

Throughout York Villa, it is often the smaller details that reveal its character, original joinery, decorative fireplaces, architectural detailing and features preserved through generations combine to create a home that feels individual at every turn.

Outside York Villa continues to reveal its character outside, with period detailing adding interest to both the front and rear elevations.

Along the frontage, charming lion-head details to the rainwater goods are among the delightful architectural touches to discover, while decorative scalloped bargeboards bring further individuality to the rear.

The mature south west facing garden provides a private and established outdoor setting, with an abundance of planting creating a leafy backdrop throughout the seasons.

APPLE and PLUM TREES add to its traditional charm, while areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings provide plenty of opportunity for quiet mornings or relaxed summer afternoons.

Direct access from the SITTING ROOM allows the garden to become a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.

A detached GARAGE provides useful parking or storage, with additional off-road parking available directly in front, completing the practical elements of this characterful home.
