176 Stockton Lane, , York

Located in one of York's most desirable locations and only two miles from the City Centre, is this beautifully presented, four bedroom period mid terrace family home. The current vendors have spent a lot of time and effort modernising this property whilst making sure that the integrity and character is retained. If you are looking for well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, stylish design that incorporates contemporary furnishings with original period features and a good sized garden with space for children to play, then this could be the perfect property for you.

The property is entered through a reception hallway with beautifully tiled original Victorian floor and two doorways incorporating original stained glass. The original tile runs throughout the hallway and has been perfectly maintained. The living room is spacious and benefits from an abundance of natural light from the large glass sash style windows at the front. There is a cast iron open fire with a granite hearth and stone surround at the centre of the room, a lovely addition for the colder winter months. The second reception room is just beyond and is currently being used as a snug, this could be utilised as a formal dining room if required. An Aga log burner and wood flooring have been fitted to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

At the rear of the house is the open plan family kitchen/diner. The dining area has two full height storage cupboards to one side and space for a large dining table and chairs. Passing through the dining area into the kitchen there is an attractive exposed brick arch, yet another fantastic example of the vendors blending the old with the new. The kitchen has two separate granite worktops both of which have Shaker style units beneath. A double Villeroy & Boch Belfast sink has been fitted along with an integrated fridge/freezer and Bosch dishwasher. There is space for a Rangemaster 100 cooker and a washing machine. A set of French doors open out on to the patio seating area and garden.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms both with feature cast iron fireplaces, whilst the master bedroom also benefits from full height built in wardrobes, ceiling rose, picture rails and original coving. The family bathroom is also situated on this floor and comprises of a corner shower with rainfall shower head, a bath with hand held shower attachment, pedestal hand basin, w/c, two chrome heated towel rails and built in storage. In addition, there is a separate study adjacent to the bathroom which could also be used as a nursery. Moving up to the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, one of which has a built-in storage, free standing hand basin and a cast iron fireplace.

Externally to the front of the property there is a low-lying wall which surrounds a low maintenance landscaped garden with Indian Sandstone paving leading up to the front door. In spring/summer the lavender border flowers, providing an extremely vibrant and attractive frontage to the property. At the rear, the garden is fully enclosed and primarily laid to lawn with raised sleeper flower beds to one side. A garden seat has been created within the raised beds, providing space to sit and enjoy the sun in the summer months. There is an L shaped patio directly behind the house and there is access at the far end of the garden to the single garage with power, which is currently used for storage.
