INTRODUCTION
Currently run as a B&B, Crook Lodge is a wonderful property steeped in history dating back to the 1850’s. Once home to Joseph Rowntree’s grandson Frank (a Director of Rowntree) as well as John Braford Harper, the Station Master of York in the 1880’s this character property has undergone extensive modernisation and been redesigned and further improved to create part home, part B&B business.
On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hallway - the current owners use the left hand side of this floor as their living accommodation including two bedrooms, a bathroom and sitting room. To the other side is a study/reception and bedroom with ensuite.
Running down the centre of the property is the original staircase – a particularly lovely feature of the house. Down the original and quirky steps is the lower ground floor with three large walk in storage rooms (one being the original pantry), a breakfast kitchen room, dining room, utility and family room as well as a w/c/shower room. The dining room has the original range which is certainly a showpiece!
The rest of the house is made up of three ensuite bedrooms to the first floor and two further ensuite bedrooms to the second. These are all light, bright and spacious.
Externally, the property has a lovely paved south facing courtyard garden – with a gated entrance off St Mary’s. There is an enclosed seating area under a pergola but this whole area could be used as additional off street parking for at least 5 cars– a BONUS in this central area of York!
Within close proximity to the property are a number of highly regarded schools. The coeducational schools of St Olave’s, St Peter’s and Bootham School are less than 5 minutes’ walk from the house. Approximately 25 minutes’ walk away is The Mount School for girls.
ENVIRONS
The location of Crook Lodge is perfect for those who wish to take advantage of everything York has to offer. The property is within walking distance of the principal shopping streets via a beautiful walk along the riverside, the Museum Gardens, and the Theatre. The railway station is less than 0.5 miles via a step free bridge over the river.
