Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in one of York’s most desirable neighbourhoods, this four-bedroom dormer bungalow offers a rare combination of location, garden space and scope for improvement. The south-facing rear garden, detached garage and driveway provide outdoor living and parking that suit growing families or those seeking single-floor living with extra bedrooms upstairs.
The property benefits from recently installed sustainable kit — solar panels (owned) and an air source heat pump fitted June 2024 — which should reduce running costs. Internally the layout is versatile, with a spacious lounge/dining room, ground-floor bedrooms and two first-floor bedrooms, giving flexibility for home offices or guest accommodation.
The house requires modernisation throughout: many fixtures are dated, internal finishes need updating, and heating remains electric storage heaters. Cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for insulation and energy-efficiency works despite the presence of solar and the new heat pump. Council tax is above average for the area.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this property is well suited to families, buyers seeking renovation potential in a premium York location, or downsizers wanting generous outside space and easy access to strong local schools and amenities.
