Exquisitely finished luxury in this expansive, circa 5,000 sq.ft. city centre residence, offering five bedrooms and an additional one-bedroom basement apartment. Perfectly positioned for Bootham and St. Peter's Schools, it boasts an incredible walled garden.
Fairbank House presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent family residence in York's highly coveted city centre. The property, spanning circa 5,000 square feet, has been meticulously and tastefully renovated, blending historic charm with modern luxury.
Across four floors, you'll discover six beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a principal suite with a dressing room and a pristine en-suite. The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully converted into a self-contained apartment, providing incredible flexibility for a live-in nanny, older parents, or independent teenagers, complete with its own gym and en-suite bedroom. The main living areas are equally impressive, featuring a stunning handmade kitchen, a family living room with a log burner, and a versatile snug leading to a garden-facing balcony.
Nestled in St. Mary's, a location steeped in history and prestige, you're just moments from the vibrant heart of York, with its array of cultural attractions, fine dining, and boutique shops. For families prioritising education, the convenience of having two of the North's leading independent schools, Bootham and St. Peter's, practically on your doorstep, is an undeniable advantage, making the morning school run a breeze!
Beyond the extensive internal space, Fairbank House boasts a truly incredible walled garden - a rare find in such a central location. This sensational private oasis, with its lush lawn, inviting patio areas, and mature planting, provides a safe and serene haven for children and pets to play, whilst adults can relax and entertain al fresco. Properties of this calibre, offering such a harmonious blend of character, space, and an unrivalled city centre location with the added bonus of an exquisite garden, are indeed a true rarity to the market.

The next steps...
1
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.
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.
