7 bed end terrace house for sale

Mount Vale, York YO24

Furlong House is one of the most desirable properties in the city. Situated in this fantastic location, less than a mile from the city centre, the double fronted Victorian residence enjoys views over woodland and York Knavesmire/Racecourse.

The property was originally constructed in 1838 with later 19th and 20th Century additions providing spacious and versatile accommodation set around a cobbled private courtyard with parking for several vehicles and garaging. Beyond the courtyard is a large private, beautifully landscaped, garden, which benefits from a westerly facing aspect and an abundance of mature shrubs and trees.

The versatility of the accommodation has been taken full advantage of over the years, with the current owner initially using the property as one large family house of seven bedrooms with four reception rooms, but as the family needs changed, and with minimal conversion, the property was again separated into the main residence with two mews properties. One no doubt a formers housekeepers cottage and the second a granary/Ostlers apartment.

In recent years the property has undergone extensive refurbishment with a no expense spared approach including replacement hardwood sash windows, mosaic tiled floors, the fitting of a handcrafted kitchen with aga and the fitting out of the main cellar for wine and additional storage. The two mews properties underwent extensive refurbishment in 2011 and 2014 to the highest of standards and have previously been rented out, providing a substantial income.

Furlong House offers the rare opportunity to acquire a fantastically well balanced family house in one of the most prestigious and desirable locations in the city.
