This well-presented two-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a mid-rise post‑war block in The Groves, a short walk from York city centre, York St John University and York Hospital. The flat offers a spacious living room, a modern shaker-style kitchen with space for appliances, and two double bedrooms each with built-in wardrobes. A balcony/terrace overlooks the communal garden, adding outdoor space without maintenance. Offered with no onward chain.
Practical running costs include gas central heating, double glazing and an Energy Performance in the low 70s range. The property totals about 819 sq ft and sits on a lease with approximately 89 years remaining; service charge is £574 (described as below average) and ground rent is £10. The layout is split over two levels and includes good built-in storage.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting central living or a buy‑to‑let investor targeting students and city workers. The block’s construction (1950–66) and assumed cavity walls with no added insulation may present opportunities to improve thermal performance and value. Note the local area records higher crime levels, and communal gardens/parking are shared rather than private.
Overall, the flat offers straightforward, low‑maintenance urban living close to key local amenities, with scope to personalise and potential rental demand given the location.
