Period Victorian terrace with strong renovation potential overlooking York city walls..
Two double bedrooms with fitted cupboards
A traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace in York city centre offering strong scope for renovation and value uplift. The ground-floor living room benefits from a large bay window with pleasant views toward the historic city walls; a separate dining room and utility area add flexible living space. Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms with fitted cupboards and an upstairs bathroom. The rear courtyard with gate gives practical access and outdoor space.
The house requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely improved insulation, and general refurbishment are needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Constructed c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and original features such as fireplaces and cupboards, it will suit a buyer prepared to invest time and budget to upgrade heating, finishes and possibly electrics.
Location is a major asset — immediate access to city centre amenities, good fast broadband, nearby schools and a popular parade of shops on Bishopthorpe Road. Freehold tenure, mains gas central heating and no flood risk add practical reassurance. Note: local crime levels are reported above average, so prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and security improvements into plans.
This property is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking a characterful home to personalise, or an investor aiming to refurbish for rental or resale in a desirable York location. The small footprint and central position make it efficient to renovate, but buyers should budget for works and potential wall insulation or re-wiring where required.
