Private terrace to rear with direct York Minster views
Spacious 725 sq ft layout: living room, dining kitchen, double bedroom
Long lease (179 years); leasehold, chain-free sale
Low service charge (£400 pa) and small ground rent (£25 pa)
EPC D and likely uninsulated solid brick walls — energy upgrades advised
Located in a busy, cosmopolitan area with very high local crime rates

Set within a Georgian terrace adjacent to Bootham Bar, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with substantial living space. High ceilings, large sash windows and an original marble fireplace give the living room a grand, light-filled feel. From the private rear terrace you have rare, direct views of York Minster — a standout city-centre feature.
The apartment occupies about 725 sq ft and includes a generous dining kitchen with pantry, double bedroom to the rear, and a heritage-style bathroom. Practical details are straightforward: gas central heating via boiler and radiators, a long lease (179 years remaining), low annual ground rent (£25) and a below-average service charge (£400 per year). It is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
Buyers should note material and location realities. The property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so heating costs and improvement works — such as insulating or upgrading services — may be required. It sits in a very high crime and deprived local area classification and is surrounded by a busy, cosmopolitan city-centre neighbourhood, so street noise and urban bustle are part of daily life.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor who values central location, period detail and outdoor space over a suburban quiet. It presents an attractive, characterful base in the heart of historic York with clear potential for cosmetic improvement and energy-efficiency upgrades.
