Description
In the heart of Marygate and overlooking St. Olave's Church, St. Olaves House stands in line with some of the finest period houses to be found in York. This majestic property, thought to date back to the seventeenth century, has been renovated to the highest standards. Overlooking one of the historic city gates, the property is located opposite the eastern entrance into the Museum Gardens which leads to the medieval ruins of St. Mary's Abbey and on to York's principal shopping district.
The entrance vestibule of the house leads to the inner staircase hall, lain with Victorian Minton tiles, and gives access to the wine cellar. The hall is flanked by two front reception rooms one of which is the study overlooking the church through a large bay window and a marble fireplace that houses a wood-burning stove. The family room similarly overlooks the church and includes an attractive feature fireplace.
In addition to the formal dining room, the house also has a sitting room at the rear of the house that leads into the kitchen through glazed double doors as well as into the garden through a set of French doors. The kitchen similarly leads into the wonderful garden, which has a traditional bothy, a greenhouse as well as a potting shed. The peaceful and private walled garden is partly what makes this house such a rare find in such a central location.
Completing the accommodation are four spacious double bedrooms on the first floor and two double bedrooms on the second floor. Both floors house separate bathrooms, and the first floor principal bedroom comes with an attached dressing room and bathroom while facing the walled garden.
Ideally located near the city centre as well as the railway station and local schools in the area, this house promises to be a perfect home located in a discreet position, yet also close to the hustle and bustle of city life.
Location
The property is perfectly positioned just outside the city’s historic walls and is close to York Theatre Royal, the Art Gallery, York Minster, Bettys Tea Rooms and the famous Shambles along with a range of local cafes, shops, restaurants, public houses, supermarkets and further landmark attractions.
Nearby is Museum Gardens, the award winning The Star Inn the City by Andrew Pern and the Michelin-starred restaurant, Roots, by Tommy Banks. In addition, there is Skosh by Neil Bentinck which also boasts a Michelin-star, positioned on popular Micklegate (about a mile) and a number of independent shops, pubs, cafes and hairdressers.
Located beside the River Ouse is York City Rowing Club, York Pilates Space and The Perky Peacock, a cosy café in a medieval tower. Further along is Rowntree Park with café, playground, tennis and basketball courts.
The well-known York Racecourse and Knavesmire are about two miles from the city accessed by a delightful walk or cycle along the river.
Just over a mile away is Bishopthorpe Road which won the ‘Great British High Street of the Year’ award in 2015. The area has a well-known parade of independent shops, café-delis and restaurants which host regular events and festivals.
York railway station is about half a mile way over Scarborough bridge and offers regular services to major cities including Manchester, Edinburgh and London with some journeys taking less than two hours to Kings Cross. The A64 ring road is about three and a half miles from the city centre giving access to Leeds, the A1(M) and the wider motorway.
The city offers a diverse range of primary and secondary schools including Scarcroft Primary School (Academy), All Saints RC School (Ofsted Outstanding 2016) and Millthorpe School (Academy). Independent schools on offer are The Mount, St Peter's and Bootham.
