Overview
71 Russell Street enjoys a prominent position in one of York’s most favoured locations within easy walking distance of the hugely popular “Bishy Road”. It is a charming blend of character and traditional style.
This traditional Victorian property has been lovingly updated by the owner creating a place you want to call home! It is wonderfully light and airy, the windows (barring the kitchen) have been replaced with wooden double-glazed sash windows and underfloor heating in the bathroom.

The property retains many original features; tiled flooring in the hallway, original doors, corniced ceiling, ceiling rose and original fireplaces. The subtle coloured walls and neutral flooring gives a warm vibe to this charming home. Any buyer can move their furniture in and call it home!

Step Inside
Walk through the original wood pannelled painted door to a vestibule, ideal for hanging coats and shoes. Through the half glazed opaque door into a welcoming hallway with original tiled floor. To the left is the sitting room bathed in natural light from the bay window overlooking the front. The ornate fireplace gives it a cosy feel, perfect for relaxing watching Netflix on a wintery evening.

Head through to the dining room, a generous sized room with original built in cupboard and alcove with fitted shelving. There is plenty of room for a dining table super for entertaining friends and family.

Continue to the Farrow and Ball painted kitchen with light oak effect cupboards and drawers that perfectly complement the black work surface. Fitted with all mod cons, electric cooker, gas hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer and full-sized dishwasher it is ideal for a busy cook. There is plumbing for a washing machine and useful under stairs cupboard, handy for storing household items and bits and bobs.
