5 bed terraced house for sale

The Mount, York YO24

Dating from the mid-19th century and without doubt one of the finest townhouses in the area, this splendid example of early Victorian architecture showcases numerous features symbolic of this era resulting in a Grade II Listed status.

The property has in recent years served as offices but not to the detriment of the building, many of the alterations being informal and easily reversed. The present owners have the relevant permissions for change of use, enabling the property to be converted back into a residential house with relative ease.

The floor plan attached has been labelled to help guide prospective purchasers but, subject to approval from the relevant planning authorities, there are other options which would require minimal alteration to the fabric of the building.

To the rear of the property is a sizeable yard, bound by a railing topped wall with sliding gates, which currently serves as a parking area for numerous cars. If the house were to be converted into a family home this area would provide space for parking and a generous city centre garden.

The Mount is ideally located just a short distance from the green open spaces of the racecourse and Knavesmire; with the immediate area also providing a number of useful shops and a mini supermarket, several restaurants and good schools. The city centre is only a short stroll away with its perfect blend of history, culture and shopping/leisure facilities. The mainline railway station is equally close by offering regular services to London's King's Cross in just 1 hr 50 mins.
