Property Description
A delightful four/five bedroom end‑of‑terrace family home dating back to the early 1900s, showcasing many original features including superb high ceilings with decorative cornicing, deep skirting boards and beautiful walk‑in bay windows. Arranged over three floors with the added benefit of a large basement offering excellent scope for further development, the property is tastefully presented throughout and benefits from recently installed double‑glazed windows. Offered to the open market for the first time in over 50 years the accommodation in further detail comprises:-
The ground floor opens with an impressive entrance hallway featuring a hardwood front door with stained‑glass panels, oak flooring and the original balustrade to the first floor. The living room is a bright, elegant space with bay windows to the front and side, an open fire with marble inset and decorative timber surround. A separate dining room provides generous entertaining space with a further walk‑in bay window and living‑flame gas fire. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with bespoke hand‑painted units, granite work surfaces, inset ceramic sink and a range of integrated appliances including double oven, Neff microwave, five‑ring gas hob, dishwasher and 70/30 fridge‑freezer. A contemporary wall‑mounted gas fire adds a stylish finish and warmth to this social space. Steps lead down to the basement, offering a utility area, storeroom and a further room previously used as an office and store room housing the gas boiler.
The first floor offers a generous landing, spacious house bathroom with roll‑top bath and corner shower wash basin and low flush WC. For convenience there is a separate WC on this floor, two large double bedrooms and a nursery/bedroom three. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, including a guest room with partly vaulted ceilings, en‑suite shower room and access to a dressing room/bedroom five.
To the outside, the property enjoys gated access from Spofforth Hill, opening onto a generous resin driveway leading to a detached double garage with manual door, light and power laid on. A further pedestrian gate from Chestnut Avenue leads to the original front entrance, with level lawned gardens extending around the side, complemented by deep, well‑stocked borders and mature perimeter hedging.
Homes of this ilk seldom come to the open market and an early inspection is strongly recommended.
