A Grade I listed townhouse in York has gone on the market for £3.5 million.
Garforth House on Micklegate is being marketed to buyers as a potential hotel.
It was built in 1757 and is believed to have been designed by the renowned architect John Carr of York.
It comes with seven bedrooms in the main house, and another two in a separate apartment on the ground floor.
Garforth House also has a substantial annexe at the rear which is now a home office/studio/gym space, as well as a large garden.
The property is on the market with Prime Residential, who describe it as a “stunning private home providing around 15,000 square feet of accommodation with potential as boutique hotel/spa etc if required”.
Details go on: “Quite rightly Grade I Listed, the property retains some of the finest Georgian features, including a superb cantilever staircase with a stunning Venetian window, original fireplaces, bespoke panelling, and some of the most impressive decorative plasterwork in the city.”
The five storey Grade I Listed property was built between 1755-1757 for the Garforth family of Wiganthorpe Hall, and is attributed to the prolific English architect John Carr.
St Margaret’s Independent Grammar School for Girls, run by nuns, moved into the building in 1912 and remained there until in 1968.
Garforth House was then turned into offices, until it was sold in 2011 when it had a guide price of £1.25 million. The new buyers, geological surveyors Lindsay and John Jacques, turned it back into a family home.
In 2020, the property starred as apartments in a gangster movie filmed in the city.
