Location

Clifton is a distinguished, tree-lined residential district located just beyond York’s historic city walls and is regarded as one of the city’s most prestigious addresses. Characterised by elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses, the area forms part of the wider Clifton Conservation Area.

Westminster Road is quietly positioned away from the main thoroughfare and is within comfortable walking distance of Bootham School, The Minster School and St Olave’s School, while being immediately adjacent to St Peter’s School.

The property enjoys a particularly attractive pedestrian route into the city centre, either through the historic Bootham Bar or via a scenic riverside walk, providing easy access to York Minster and the city’s vibrant array of shops, restaurants and cultural attractions.

There are a number of excellent green spaces nearby, including Homestead Park, Clifton and Rawcliffe Ings, and the renowned Museum Gardens, all offering delightful walking opportunities.

Clifton Green serves as a well-regarded local hub, offering a café, gift shop, sandwich shop, butcher, delicatessen, convenience store, as well as dental and chiropractic practices. The recently refurbished Old Grey Mare public house is now home to Brew York Craft Beer and YUZU Street Food, while the nearby YHA York offers a café and garden. The area benefits from a strong sense of community and an active neighbourhood atmosphere.

For commuters, York railway station is easily accessible via a short and pleasant walk over Scarborough Bridge, providing regular mainline services to London King’s Cross in under two hours, as well as to Leeds, Manchester and Edinburgh.

The local road network lies just to the north, with the A1237 providing convenient access to the A64 and wider regional routes.
