Summary - Apartment 2, 1 St. Leonards Place YO1 7HF
3 bed 3 bath Apartment
Grand period rooms and central York location ideal for family living.
Extremely large 1,808 sq ft split-level apartment
Set within an elegant late-Georgian crescent, this exceptionally large three-bedroom apartment spans 1,808 sq ft over two levels and combines period proportions with modern fittings. High ceilings, sash windows and a grand sitting room with a feature fireplace create generous reception space, while the principal bedroom includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. The location is central, with views toward York Minster, immediate access to Museum Gardens and city-centre amenities on the doorstep.
Practical benefits include an allocated gated parking space and communal cycle store — rare finds for a city-centre period home. The kitchen and dining room are finished to a contemporary standard suitable for entertaining. The apartment’s scale, layout and proximity to schools, cultural venues and the railway make it well suited to family life or professional buyers seeking a distinctive city address.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold with above-average service charges (£4,653) and a ground rent (£406). Heating is electric room heaters and the building’s solid brick construction is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so running costs may be higher than modern standards. Broadband speeds are very slow here. The immediate area records a very high crime level and council tax is described as quite expensive.
This is a characterful, high-profile apartment that offers substantial internal space and a premier central location. It will particularly suit those who prioritise scale, period detail and city-centre living, and who are prepared for the cost implications of older construction, electric heating and elevated communal charges.
