A wonderful example of a mid-terraced period property located in the popular area of Holgate. Boasting 3 bedrooms, a first floor bathroom and newly installed kitchen, this beautifully presented property is conveniently offered with no onward chain.
Purchased by the current owners in 2017, number 77 Lindley Street has been meticulously renovated and is presented to market in turn-key condition. Retaining plenty of original features and located in the popular and historically significant area of Holgate, this home is conveniently offered with no onward chain, and is sure to appeal to an array of potential purchasers.
Upon entering the property, you are greeted with a red brick wall with hand cut, solid York lime stone cappings, low-maintenance paved frontage and reclaimed red quarry tiled path; nicely separating the property from the street. A hand cut York lime stone capping, finished by a highly skilled stone mason, identifies the number of the property.
Stepping over the threshold into the entrance hall, the decorative period floor tiles are perfect for this high-traffic area of the home, while also preserving the character of the property. An internal door separates the entrance hall from the external front door. The staircase, finished with stair runner and rods, leads up to the first-floor accommodation.
Having had an internal wall removed to create an open-plan space, the lounge and dining area is an ideal place for the family, and for entertaining.
With high ceilings, restored pine wood floorboards and tastefully decorated in the shade 'Planet Earth', the lounge is a relaxing space to unwind. A large, uPVC sash bay window allows for plenty of natural light to stream through, creating a sense of warmth. A carbon grey, vertical column radiator heats the living room, while a tiled hearth and decorative fireplace with wooden surround, add a real sense of style. The deep alcoves have been fitted with bespoke cupboards and shelving, perfect for storage and display.
The dining area flows naturally from the lounge and is finished in the same calming 'Planet Earth' shade, and again features restored pine wood floorboards. An under-stair cupboard provides plenty of storage and a carbon grey column radiator heats the area. A fireplace mirroring that of the one in the lounge comes complete with a cosy wood-burning stove, ideal for cooler, winter evenings. A large uPVC window faces the rear elevation, allowing plenty of natural light to the ground floor accommodation.
A step leads down into the newly fitted and excellently designed Michel Roux Jnr kitchen.
Fitted with Nouvel Dust base units and Loire Vintage Oak laminate wall units, the contrasting Calcatta Gold Quartz worktops with mitred end panels add a luxurious finish to this meticulously planned and bright space. A stainless-steel sink and drainer with mixer tap sit beneath a uPVC window to the side elevation. Integrated appliances include a Hotpoint dishwasher, Hoover fridge-freezer, Zanussi under-counter double oven and Neff induction hob with extractor over. A wall unit houses the gas-fired boiler. The lighting of the kitchen has been purposefully designed, with warm-white wall unit strip lights and ceiling spotlights. A patterned cement Bert & May floor tile, with underfloor heating, completes this area of the home.
An external door leads out to the rear courtyard and out-house, which the current owners use as a utility room.
The staircase, painted in Farrow and Ball 'Railings', leads to the first-floor landing and provides access to all three bedrooms and the house bathroom. A good-sized built-in cupboard with light is situated just to the left of the entrance to bedroom one, and is the perfect space for storage.
Bedroom one is a large, double master with high ceilings, dado rails and period fireplace with decorative surround and marble hearth. Allowing plenty of space for other freestanding furniture, the bedroom has newly installed, fitted cupboards, which are decorated in Farrow and Ball 'Railings', perfectly complementing the purposefully exposed plaster finish walls. A dressing table with motion detect lighting is also cleverly concealed as a built-in cupboard and comes complete with plug sockets. Finished with a neutral carpet and two uPVC sash windows to the front elevation, the master bedroom is a light and airy space.
Across the landing is bedroom two. This is another double bedroom, which the owners currently use as a home office. With exposed, painted pine wood floorboards and plenty of space for freestanding furniture, this room has previously been used as a guest bedroom. Decorated in neutral tones, the large uPVC window faces the rear elevation and provides plenty of light. Evidence of an original fireplace remains with what would have been the hearth, along with picture rails, which further help to maintain the character of this period property.
Bedroom three is a good-sized single room. Boasting a period fireplace and finished in neutral tones with a feature wall and pale carpet, this space is currently set up as a children's room but could lend itself to many uses. A uPVC window faces the rear elevation and looks out over the courtyard.
The house bathroom comprises a white three-piece suite including: A hand wash basin with mixer tap and base unit, p-shaped bath with shower over and WC. A frosted uPVC glazed window to the side of the property provides privacy and ventilation. White tiled walls and flooring complete the room.
Externally to the rear of the property, the kitchen provides access to a paved area leading to a secure out-house. Complete with storage, electricity and plumbing, one cannot under-estimate the convenience of having a separate area for a washing machine and tumble drier, freeing up essential space in the kitchen.
Two steps leads down to the low maintenance, yet well finished rear courtyard. With exceptional attention to detail this has been transformed into a relaxed seating area, which catches the morning sun and is ideal for alfresco dining. A gate provides access to a shared alleyway which can be used to transport bins and recycling boxes.
On-street parking can be found to the front of the property.
Lindley Street is located in a popular area of West York; being close to the historic city centre and all of its amenities, as well as Acomb with its thriving high street. Holgate is conveniently well placed for commuting, being in close proximity to York train station which is a 1 mile walk away, plenty of local buses and access to York's outer ring road. West Bank Park is only a short stroll away.
