Grey Firs, Haxby

Guide Price £1,250,000

Finest period house in the heart of Haxby with a glorious walled garden

Grey Firs is a landmark property within the thriving town of Haxby.  It is believed to date from the early nineteenth century with double-storey bays added some one hundred years ago and a further extension in 1981.  This outstanding family property lies within comfortable strolling distance of many village amenities and is close to York city centre. A much-loved family home for fifty years, the sale of Grey Firs represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

This period property has some fine architectural features including timber sash windows, original hall tiling, traditional panelled doors and a handsome staircase with polished handrail, ornate cast iron spindles and newel post.

The classic, double fronted layout is designed with two glorious south facing front rooms both with fireplaces, deep bay windows and window seats.  At the rear, the traditional kitchen has an gas-fired Aga, a quarry tiled floor and ample space for a family-sized dining table. It extends to the maids’ kitchen and, via a rear hall, to the large utility room. Double doors open onto the study/snug with double aspect views of the garden.  On the first floor the bedroom accommodation is arranged around a central landing. The rooms have good proportions and high ceilings, and two have pretty cast-iron fireplaces.

 

The second floor is arranged as three rooms, one as a bedroom with views of York Minster.  It offers opportunity for further development.
