Property Details
Number 11 York Road is a fully refurbished Victorian redbrick home on the market for €1.395 million. The current owners bought it in 2015 and planned to restore its original features. They hired MVK Architects for a thoughtful renovation of this four-bedroom terrace, which had not been updated since the 1970s.
Renovation Highlights
The property was entirely renovated. A new, bright extension was added to the back. The owners replaced all plumbing and electrical systems. Original features such as pitch-pine flooring, fireplaces, ornate ceiling coving, and stained glass were restored.
Interior Features
The home’s layout is impressive and symmetrical. Custom storage solutions by joiner Joe Craddock keep spaces organized and tidy. Color consultant Olha Kelly worked with the owners to develop a color palette that enhances the home’s natural light.
The measured living space totals 153 sq m (1,647 sq ft), with an additional attic conversion of 22 sq m (237 sq ft).
- Layout: The traditional Victorian design includes two interconnecting front rooms, both retaining original details. A corridor leads to the new open-plan kitchen and dining area.
- Kitchen: The kitchen features a Silestone-topped island and hand-painted cabinetry from Shalford Interiors, complemented by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the garden.
- Bedrooms: The upper floor includes four bedrooms—three double rooms and one single—along with a spacious main bathroom. A staircase leads to the attic room, currently used for guests, which has an adjacent bathroom.
Exterior Features
The back garden has a long storage shed and a new boundary wall made from imported French bricks. A sedum roof over the principal bedroom adds to energy efficiency and visual appeal. The front garden includes a copper beech tree, providing some privacy. On-street parking is available.
Energy Efficiency
The property has a BER rating of C3, indicating a significant efficiency upgrade without losing original character. Underfloor heating warms the extension, while gas heating operates throughout the house.
