1950s–60s build — potential maintenance needed
A well-located one-bedroom first-floor apartment a short walk from York city centre, offered with no onward chain and a single off-street parking space. The apartment occupies about 507 sq ft and has a large living room with a feature fireplace, a rear kitchen fitted with standard appliances and a double bedroom. The long lease (172 years) and low annual service charge and ground rent make the tenure straightforward for buyers and investors.
This property will suit a buy-to-let investor or a first-time buyer wanting central access with the convenience of parking. It has practical modern touches — double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler and fast broadband/mobile signal — that reduce immediate upgrade costs. The compact, traditional layout is easy to manage and presents clear scope for modest cosmetic improvement to increase rental appeal or resale value.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the building dates from the 1950s–60s so ongoing maintenance may be needed over time; the neighbourhood is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels; and rooms are modest in size. Council Tax is low (Band A), EPC C (70), and there is no flooding risk, but purchasers should factor typical mid‑century repair and upgrade costs into budgets.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-commitment purchase for an investor or commuter wanting quick access to York centre, parking and a straightforward lease. It offers immediate occupancy or letting potential with limited short-term capital outlay, while longer-term buyers can add value through cosmetic updates.
