About
Located in the highly sought-after area of Scarcroft Hill, just a short stroll from the acclaimed Bishopthorpe Road, Scarcroft Road and the beautiful surroundings of York’s Racecourse, is this substantial and beautifully presented period townhouse.
Deceptively spacious and arranged over three floors, the property offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it an ideal home for families seeking generous accommodation close to an array of local amenities, including well-regarded schools, independent shops, cafés and eateries.
Internally, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall featuring attractive period floor tiles, setting the tone for the character and charm found throughout.
To the front is an elegant reception room with a large bay window allowing natural light to flood the space, whilst showcasing stunning features including bespoke cabinetry and shelving, a striking fireplace and ornate ceiling cornicing.
A second reception room sits to the rear overlooking the garden, providing a wonderful additional living or dining space.
The kitchen is positioned at the very rear of the property and fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by granite worktops, original built-in cupboards and a breakfast bar.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom spanning the full width of the property with an attractive fireplace.
A further staircase leads to the second floor where two additional bedrooms can be found alongside a three-piece bathroom and useful storage space.
Externally, the property enjoys a lovely rear garden with a westerly aspect, featuring lawned and patio areas ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining, all enclosed by traditional brick boundaries and enhanced by mature planting and colourful flowers.
To the front is a forecourt with on-street permit parking available immediately outside.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers, sellers, and giftors.
These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed.
If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks.
We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf.
They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely.
There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser and per giftor for these checks..
This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from MoveButler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
