Welcome to Huntington Road

May 6, 2025

Set just a short stroll from the historic heart of York, this beautifully renovated Victorian terrace on Huntington Road is a wonderful blend of period charm and contemporary living. Thoughtfully modernised throughout, the property retains its elegant original features while offering the practical layout and stylish finishes that suit modern life. From the stunning walk-in shower and free-standing bath to the landscaped courtyard garden, every space has been carefully considered and impeccably presented.

A Warm Welcome

As I step into the entrance hall, I’m immediately met with a sense of calm. The original proportions and high ceilings give the space a timeless elegance, while the soft colour palette and restored features create a welcoming first impression.

Flowing through into the sitting and dining room, it’s easy to see how this space has been designed for both entertaining and everyday life. Natural light floods the room through the striking bay window to the front, and the two wood-burning stoves provide warmth and atmosphere at either end of the room. Fitted storage, ceiling roses and decorative coving complete the look, giving the room real character. At the rear, French doors lead directly out to the courtyard garden, offering that all-important connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A Kitchen Designed for Living

Beyond the reception rooms, the kitchen has been completely refitted to offer sleek style and superb functionality. A range of modern base and wall units house integrated appliances including an electric oven, microwave, gas hob, extractor fan, dishwasher and washing machine. There’s space for additional appliances too, and the stainless steel sink with mixer tap sits neatly beneath a rear window.

Tucked just behind the kitchen, a convenient ground floor WC adds extra practicality to this well-laid-out home.

First Floor Elegance

The staircase rises to a generous landing, leading to two beautifully presented double bedrooms and a show-stopping bathroom.

The principal bedroom sits to the front and features a wide window, fitted wardrobes, and the original chimney breast which adds a classic touch. The second bedroom is another full double, with fitted shelving, a decorative fireplace, and views over the rear courtyard – an ideal guest room, home office or additional living space depending on your needs.

The bathroom is one of the standout rooms of the house. As I enter, I’m immediately drawn to the free-standing bathtub, framed perfectly against the white tiled walls. A walk-in shower enclosure with rainfall and handheld fittings, a wall-mounted vanity basin, and sleek black fixtures give the room a luxurious, spa-like feel. An airing cupboard provides additional storage, and thoughtful lighting completes the modern finish.

A Garden Made for Relaxing

The rear courtyard garden is a private haven. Neatly landscaped with a combination of decked seating, gravel pathways and planted borders, it’s a space that feels calm, low-maintenance, and full of charm. Surrounded by brick walls, it’s the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or gather with friends for an evening drink.

To the front, a pretty forecourt garden sits behind a wooden gate, framed by mature shrubs and seasonal planting that offers a lovely first impression from the roadside.

A Location to Love

Located on one of York’s most well-connected roads, this home is perfectly placed for those who want to enjoy the best of city living without compromising on peace and space. Huntington Road is within walking distance of York city centre and offers easy access to the River Foss, green spaces, shops, schools and public transport links.

Whether you’re a professional, a couple, or a small family looking for a characterful home with a modern finish, this property offers a rare combination of location, charm and quality.
