Full property description

Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac location only a 20 minute walk from the city centre and train station, this generously extended 3-bedroom end terrace property on Clive Grove offers an abundance of space, character, and modern conveniences. Having been lovingly maintained by the current owners for nearly 30 years, the home boasts a wealth of thoughtful updates and bespoke features, making it a truly special place to live.

Upon entering through the original stained-glass front door, you are welcomed into a bright hallway that leads to a cosy lounge complete with under-stair storage. The real heart of the home lies in the impressive kitchen-diner, a stunning space enhanced by aluminium bifold doors and a glass roof that floods the room with natural light. This area is ideal for both family living and entertaining, offering direct access to the enclosed rear garden, which is beautifully laid to Indian stone.

Originally a two and a half-bedroom end terrace, the property underwent a substantial transformation in 2005, with full planning permission granted for a single full-width extension and a two-storey side extension. This extension added a spacious ground-floor WC, utility room, and internal garage, as well as a large double bedroom and full-size bathroom on the upper floor. The original bathroom, once located at the top of the stairs, was relocated as part of the reconfiguration to create a much more practical layout and large open landing area/study space.

The high-quality craftsmanship of the extension is evident, with all brickwork, electrical, and plumbing work carried out by skilled tradesmen, while the owners themselves undertook joinery, design, plasterboarding, and decorating. The main works were completed in 2008, ensuring the property is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. In 2023, the owners created a luxurious en-suite wet room, with innovative lighting and a tanked floor to prevent leaks. The master bedroom also underwent a revamp, with new windows and carpeting.

The kitchen, recently updated in 2024, now features a rare colour scheme from Howdens, with acrylic worktops, a wooden shelf with an inset light, and complimentary brick slips to match the extension’s brickwork. The property also benefits from a regularly serviced 4-year-old combi boiler.

On the first floor, there are three spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom to the front enjoys an en-suite shower room, the second double to the rear and the third bedroom is located above the garage extension. The reconfigured upstairs layout provides a generous landing and a modern bathroom complete with a freestanding bath, sink, and WC. Solid doors throughout, with the original doors still in place on the first floor, maintain the property’s charming character.

Externally, the property features off-street parking for multiple cars on a brick-paved driveway. The rear garden is perfect for enjoying the outdoors in all seasons.

This beautifully extended home offers an excellent balance of practicality and style, with a rich history and many thoughtful upgrades. Perfect for families seeking both comfort and space in a desirable York location, early viewing is highly recommended.
