SO not only do you want a house within walking distance of York city centre, but a garden and garage as well? Good luck with that then.

Except that we’ve found such a rarity in Burton Stone Lane, just off Bootham.

Might as well stop now, because unless it’s falling down, why wouldn’t you just put in an offer straight away?

Fortunately it’s in good order, though would benefit from some upgrading. As agents, Naish, put it, this home is an absolute gem, full of original features.

To the ground floor is an entrance hall, sitting room with fireplace and dining room with French doors onto the flagged section of the garden. The kitchen has a lovely bay window seating area to the side and leads to the utility area.

Upstairs is a half landing which leads to the bathroom, with delightful views over the garden. Two bedrooms face the front while the stunning master bedroom is at the rear. There is also scope to convert a staircase off the landing to the attic and produce a further en suite bedroom, subject to planning.

But it’s the outside that you really need to know about. To the front is a pretty forecourt with box and walled boundaries. Then, through a gated alleyway, past a paved area and wildlife pond you discover an original timber framed and brick built greenhouse.

Through the bows of a weeping silver birch tree you come across the garden, which, like the house has wonderful sun traps.

Adjacent to the seating area is a lawn and path, beyond which are mature trees and paths leading to the rear space.

Hidden off the other side of Burton Stone Lane, down a short private road is a large brick built single garage with storage in the roof space and double timber doors.

So there you are a house within walking distance of York city centre with a garden and garage.

Seems you can have your cake and eat it after all.
