Separate utility room with plumbing for white goods
Small rear courtyard with gated alley access; street parking only

Area records above-average crime; compact plot not suitable for large gardens
Light-filled two-bedroom Victorian terrace close to York city walls and the hospital, offered freehold and ready to occupy. The living room’s bay window and feature fireplace give the home period character while the kitchen-diner, useful utility room and ground-floor shower room suit everyday family life. An ensuite bathroom serves the first-floor bedrooms, making mornings straightforward for two occupants.
Practical details work in the property’s favour: about 720 sq ft of living space, double glazing, mains gas boiler and a Council Tax Band B cost profile. The small rear courtyard provides private outdoor space with gated access to the alley.
Be honest about the trade-offs: the house is a compact mid-terrace on a small plot, in an area with above-average crime, so buyers prioritising tranquillity and large outdoor space should look elsewhere. The solid-brick Victorian construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and could benefit from targeted energy-efficiency upgrades. Street parking is available but not private.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented, characterful home near central York amenities. It’s comfortable now and offers clear scope to improve thermal performance and personalise finishes over time.
