7 and 7a St Peter’s Grove, York YO30 6AQ
Built in 1882, this quiet street was designed by James Demaine and building started in 1881. Widely regarded as one of the best streets in York, the street was developed to provide large scale middle class housing and still retains much of its Victorian charm. Number 7 was clearly built to impress and bears all the hallmarks of detailed and high quality construction: the brick elevations have decorative terracotta panels and many of the period features remain; inside, the high ceilings, plasterwork, doors, fireplaces, cornices and wainscoting all convey quality and history.
The present owners have made the very most of this light, airy and spacious house by their sympathetic yet very contemporary approach to its modernisation, and it is now offered as one of York’s most appealing houses in the ideal location. Currently run as a successful hotel, it would easily return back to a single family house.
