Located on the highly sought-after East Mount Road, one of York’s most desirable residential streets, is this elegant Victorian townhouse offering substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors. Positioned adjacent to Scarcroft Green and within walking distance of York Railway Station, the city centre and a range of well-regarded schools, this impressive home combines period charm with modern family living. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home in a prime location.
Set behind traditional railings and a forecourt garden, the property retains a wealth of original features throughout, including decorative tiled flooring, fireplaces, high ceilings, cornicing, picture rails, panelled doors and an impressive staircase, all of which reflect the home's Victorian heritage.
Internally, the accommodation offers exceptional flexibility. The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious bay-fronted living room, flooded with natural light from its south-west facing aspect. To the rear, the current owners have created a superb open-plan family space, where the kitchen, dining area and family room flow seamlessly together. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances, whilst a large roof lantern and bi-fold doors ensure the dining area is bright and inviting, opening directly onto the courtyard garden beyond. The adjoining family room provides a cosy retreat, centred around a dual-fuel stove and complemented by original fitted cupboards and shelving.
A useful pantry and a generous cellar, currently utilised for storage, complete the ground floor accommodation.
The upper floors provide a highly adaptable layout currently arranged as four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and an additional reception room, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom if required. The magnificent first-floor drawing room is a particular highlight, boasting tall sash windows, high ceilings and an attractive fireplace, while the principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite bathroom. Each room enjoys an abundance of natural light and attractive rooftop views across this established part of the city.
Externally, the rear courtyard has been thoughtfully landscaped with York stone paving, creating a private and low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for entertaining. Double gates provide the option of secure off-street parking if desired. Two brick-built outbuildings provide a practical utility room and separate store/workshop, adding further versatility to the property.
A fine example of a period townhouse in one of York’s most prestigious locations, offering generous accommodation, character features and flexible living space within easy reach of everything the city has to offer. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
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.
