Portland Street, York YO31

Surely one of the finest examples of its type, this wonderful period home really must be viewed to be appreciated. A much-loved family home for many years, Ashtons Estate Agents are delighted to offer a rare opportunity to purchase a charming, wider-fronted city centre residence. Set on this sought-after street, within sight of York Minster, the city walls, and all the renowned eateries and attractions our historic city has to offer, this property is truly special. Benefitting from off-street parking to the rear and retaining an abundance of original features, this superb three-storey townhouse, built circa 1865, is perfectly placed for access to highly regarded schools, the district hospital, and excellent transport links. A rare opportunity to acquire a period home of real distinction in the heart of York.

Beyond the attractive forecourt, the entrance hall welcomes you with its elegant staircase, uniquely tucked away behind the first stunning front lounge. This reception room features a traditional bay window and character fireplace, creating an inviting and stylish space. A second bright and spacious
reception room is set off the entrance hall beyond the stairs, ideally placed as a dining room, with built-in shelving and storage finished with an elegant arch detail. The kitchen is fitted with an array of period-style wall and base units, worktops, and a Belfast sink. A small courtyard gives access to a bike shed. To the rear of the property, a hardwood-framed conservatory garden room provides further living space and leads to a useful external store.

To the first floor, a generous landing gives access to three double bedrooms and a three-piece house bathroom. The second floor is home to a large bedroom suite with exposed beams and a separate WC, which could easily be adapted into a luxurious master suite or divided into two separate rooms.

Externally to the front is a forecourt with original railings and a brick boundary wall. A shared gated side access leads to a small courtyard. The fabulous private rear English country-style courtyard garden has a paved patio, flower borders, and a brick boundary wall. Large timber gates provide off-street parking with the potential for electric car charging.

A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the impressive proportions of this home and the wealth of original features, including picture rails, ceiling cornices, and the overall charm that makes this a truly exceptional period property.
