1930s family house with garden, garage and scope to modernise.
1930s semi-detached with period bay windows and character
A traditional 1930s semi in sought-after Heworth offers immediate family living with clear scope to modernise. The house retains period character — bay windows and a generous open living/dining room — creating bright, flexible space for family life. A rear garden, garage and driveway add valuable outdoor and parking space often hard to find close to town.
The property will suit a growing family or buyers wanting long-term value in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal. Practical features include a pantry, downstairs WC, mains gas boiler with radiators, and nearby good primary and secondary schools, including Outstanding-rated Archbishop Holgate’s.
This home does require renovation: internal updating and likely insulation improvements are needed, and the glazing dates from before 2002. The current bathroom layout (separate shower and WC) could be combined to create a larger family bathroom. Buyers should budget for modernisation works to bring heating, wiring, and thermal efficiency up to modern standards.
With a decent plot and traditional proportions, the house offers real potential to refurbish and expand subject to permissions. A straightforward semi-detached with character, good outdoor space and a garage — an attractive blank canvas for families wanting to create a long-term home in York.
