A substantial Late Victorian townhouse overlooking the Knavesmire, in the heart of The Mount. With a private walled courtyard and garage. Formerly operated as a B&B, with planning approval in place for a change to residential use.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Late Victorian townhouse in one of York’s most desirable residential settings, overlooking the Knavesmire and moments from York Racecourse. Offering approximately 3,200 sq ft of accommodation over three principal floors (plus cellar), this is a property with genuine presence, scale and flexibility – equally suited to a significant private home or a lifestyle business.

The house has been used in recent years as a bed and breakfast, and importantly planning approval is in place to change the use to residential, creating an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to design and restore a large family home in a premier Mount location. The proportions and footprint are excellent, with large rooms, strong ceiling heights and a layout that lends itself well to reconfiguration and improvement.

Period character remains a key feature throughout, including sash windows, decorative cornicing and corbels, stained glass, deep skirtings and traditional tiled flooring. The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall, two impressive reception rooms with bay windows, and kitchen space to the rear opening onto the private walled courtyard. The upper floors offer extensive bedroom accommodation, much of it with en suite facilities, along with ancillary space supporting either residential or guest use.

Few positions combine this level of space with such a premium setting. Albemarle Road runs directly off The Mount, within York’s Central Historic Core Conservation Area, placing the city centre, Micklegate, and the railway station within comfortable walking distance. Bishopthorpe Road (“Bishy Road”), Rowntree Park and riverside walks are also close at hand, making this a standout opportunity for buyers seeking scale, status and long-term upside in a top-tier York location.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
