The Avenue is one of York's smartest addresses, a leafy residential enclave situated just off Bootham. An imposing terrace of Grade II Listed Victorian townhouses, each has its own distinctive characterful facade, set back behind manicured forecourt gardens. Number 5 sits centrally in the terrace, and being double fronted, occupies a wider plot than its neighbours.
A grand house of impressive proportions, the versatile accommodation extends to almost 3500 square feet over three floors, positioned around a central staircase and spacious hallway. Most of the rooms feature original fireplaces and wooden floors, the layout offering great flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Currently, the ground and first floors serve as living space, comprising a kitchen/breakfast room, a conservatory leading out to the garden, and a selection of beautiful reception rooms; some with fabulous bay windows looking out onto the front garden greenery, others offering a cosier feel with views onto the rear walled garden. The second floor offers 5 well-proportioned bedrooms, and each floor is served by its own bathroom.
To the rear of the house is a delightful walled garden. Thoughtfully designed with a variety of fruit trees and shrubbery, it benefits from a wonderfully private patio seating area, 2 brick built storage sheds, and double gates giving access to the rear mews passageway.
The Avenue is situated just a short walk from Clifton Green with a range of local facilities, giving a unique village feel. York city walls and the railway station are within a mile, and the outer ring road is close by for convenient transport links.
