Two-bedroom period terrace near York station — chain free renovation opportunity in Leeman Road..
Two-bedroom Victorian terrace, approx. 587 sq ft

Open-plan living/dining with feature fireplace
Small enclosed rear courtyard and brick store
Chain free freehold sale
Requires renovation and thermal improvements (solid walls assumed)
On-street parking only; very small plot
This attractive two-bedroom period terrace in the Leeman Road area sits a short walk from York Railway Station and the city centre. The house offers classic Victorian character with a feature fireplace, open-plan living and dining space, and a small enclosed rear courtyard with a brick-built store. Offered freehold and chain free, it’s well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a renovation project.
The layout is straightforward: open-plan living/dining with an under-stairs study nook, a fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom housing the wall-mounted gas boiler. Two well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the first floor. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and excellent local broadband, but overall floor area is modest (approximately 587 sq ft) and the plot is very small.
Key selling points are the location and scope to modernise and add value. That said, the house needs renovation: interior updates and likely thermal improvements (solid brick walls with no assumed insulation). The boiler is wall-mounted in the bathroom and may need service or replacement. On-street parking is available on the quiet no-through road, but there is no private driveway or garden extension potential and no current planning permissions.
For buyers seeking a manageable starter home near transport links, or investors targeting a central York rental or resale after refurbishment, this property offers clear potential. Be prepared for updating costs and to factor in the small overall footprint when planning improvements.
