Additional Information

5 Malton Way has retained a number of its “aspirational" period features, notably the original steel Crittal windows and French doors with restored door furniture. Ultraviolet ray ‘Vitaglass’ invented in 1920s, remains in some of the panels. There are panelled doors, fireplaces and a traditional walk-in pantry with cold slab, fly screen and tiled floor. An extension was skilfully added in the 1980s creating a garden room and, more recently, the owners have updated the house, paying attention to the electrics, heating system and roof. Two bathrooms were fitted and the property painted externally in 2024.

The sitting room with its traditional fireplace is part open plan to the family room, extending some 25 ft and even further through double doors to the garden room. This is a wonderful, light-filled space, ideal for family gatherings, that concludes with French doors opening west onto the landscaped garden. The dining room has original double French doors and windows that open south to the sheltered leafy garden terrace. It is part open to the kitchen with its south facing window and walk-in pantry. The kitchen is fitted with beech cabinets and work tops, an electric hob, grill and built-in ovens. Under the stairs is a utility/laundry/cloaks cupboard with a Sheila Maid and original Butler sink and the large porch doubles up as a boot room/cloaks room

Spanning the western end of the first floor is the principal bedroom suite. The bedroom is double aspect and has fitted wardrobes; it comes with a study/dressing room and stylish bathroom including a walk-in shower and heated towel rail. There are three further double bedrooms that face south across the garden and a house bathroom with separate wc. In addition, there is a large, boarded loft with a skylight and two hatches with dropdown ladders.

Outside

The mature gardens wrap around the house with boundaries protected by a privet hedge. There is a variety of colourful shrubs and trees including a magnolia and white flowering cherry as well as flower beds, stretches of lawn, a small pond and paved terraces and pathways. Double timber gates in Flavian Grove open to the driveway where there is a parking space in front of a single garage. The integral garage is 25 ft long and comes with a separate gardener’s wc.

Malton Way is tucked between Shipton Road and Rawcliffe Lane. It forms part of a Rowntree garden suburb comprising a handful of charming houses, tree-lined streets with grass verges, and generous gardens. The city centre is within easy reach via Clifton village (with convenience store, pub, independent shops and café) and the handsome Georgian thoroughfare of Bootham. Local state schooling and top independent schools, St Peter’s and Bootham schools, lie within comfortable walking distance, and Homestead Park and York Sports Club are situated just across Shipton Road. Riverside pathways and cycle routes provide an alternative route to the railway station and city as well as north to Beningbrough Hall. Just over a mile to the north is Clifton Moor retail park and the ring road which connects to the A59, the A64 and A1(M).
