22 York Road occupies the private lower ground level of this large Victorian villa. Recently completely renovated and extended by an architect, this generously sized, beautifully presented three bedroom apartment enjoys its own private entrance and access via a private lane to the West Links golf course and beach. Currently used as a primary residence it would also work well as a second home.

A private gated entrance leads from the street down a flight of steps to the east side of the building, in addition level access is gained from a beautiful private lane into the garden. The recently updated property has a paved walkway with mature planting leading to a broad front door that opens into a bright entrance hall. Immediately to the left is the characterful barrel-vaulted space which has been cleverly divided into distinct uses, including neat built in storage for coats, golf bags and boots in the first part, a bright office space with a door to the courtyard and up two steps with a separating door a family/games room which could also function as a further bedroom.

Off the central hallway an open plan kitchen is located on the left and benefits from its own stylish courtyard accessed through sliding glazed doors. The raised flower beds and built in curved seating allow for entertaining both inside and out. Within the kitchen there are a range of base and wall mounted cabinets, with integrated appliances including a full height fridge/freezer, Smeg gas hob, Smeg double oven and full size Bosch dishwasher. The room has space for a large dining table seating eight. Alongside is a separate utility room with designated space for a washing machine, separate dryer and sink as well as further useful storage and space for drying.

From the kitchen a central corridor gives access to the rest of the accommodation. To the left the spacious family bathroom continues with the same seamless wooden floors and has been fitted with a rain shower over the bath and large inset mirror. Opposite is the first of the three bedrooms with an outlook to the east; currently set up as a children's bedroom it has previously been used as a guest bedroom with a double bed and also as an office. Alongside, a further bedroom of similar dimensions has original wooden shutters and window seat. Each of these have recently fitted sash and case, double glazed windows. Opposite is a substantial storage room with built in shelving. A further space to the left has been designed as a reading area, all of these features were designed for living by the architect during the renovation. The principal bedroom and en suite is located on the right. The light-filled bedroom has two full height picture windows looking onto the garden and the east side of the property, along with built in wardrobes and a modern en suite shower room.

Finally the sitting room makes the most of its aspect over the garden with full height double doors that allow the room to be bathed in light throughout the day. The room features a marble and granite fireplace with beautiful living flame electric fire and built in shelving and seating. Discreetly tucked into the rear wall is a further storage cupboard.

A level access private garden has been landscaped to create a seating area to the northeast corner and a paved terrace adjacent to the sitting room, this garden is fully enclosed and a true haven by the sea. At the rear of the garden is the original wall for the villa and a private gate opens onto a lane that leads to the West Links golf course and beach.
