Clifton Holme is a Grade II listed Victorian villa, dating from 1848 when it was built for well-known city solicitor Joseph Munby.
Standing in three acres of formal gardens, woodland and paddock land, the property is found at the end of Ousecliffe Gardens.
Property location
The estate backs on to the sports pitches and boat house of St Peter’s School.
It’s on the market with Preston Baker, who describe it as a “magnificent neoclassical Victorian villa” set in about three acres of grounds.
The details say: “Previously known as St Hilda’s Garth and serving as a girl’s orphanage for some years, an extensive programme of renovations was undertaken in the early 2000s, retaining the structural integrity of the building whilst restoring and refurbishing to create a comfortable and versatile family home.
“Beautifully balancing grandeur with practicality, the accommodation amounts to almost 7,500 square feet of elegantly proportioned rooms over two floors, traditionally styled and displaying original features typical of the era.
“Fabulous garden, river and city views are displayed through generous sash windows in every room.”
The main house has six bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms.
Three other buildings come with the site, “and offer excellent options for multi-generational living, rental income streams, offices or studios”.
The former servants’ quarters has been reconfigured, with four bedrooms. And a stable block is now two apartments.
