A well-presented three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached home just west of York city centre, ideal for growing families seeking space and convenience. The house sits on a decent plot with off-street parking, a bay-fronted sitting room and a dining room that opens onto a landscaped, fully enclosed garden and Indian sandstone patio — great for children and low-maintenance outdoor time. The property backs onto allotments and overlooks a green space at the front, giving a pleasant, semi-open aspect.
Internally the accommodation is sensible and comfortable: a porch and wide hallway, a modern kitchen with good storage, and three double bedrooms served by a contemporary family bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal, making it suitable for home-working parents or commuters. Floor area is around 1,006 sq ft, providing practical room sizes for family life.
Practical facts to note: the house was built in the 1930s and external walls are cavity brick with no known added insulation (assumed), which may present future upgrade opportunities to improve thermal efficiency. There is one family bathroom only and the wider area scores as more deprived with ‘challenged white communities’ and average crime levels. These local factors should be weighed against the strong schooling nearby and easy access to York city centre.
Overall this semi offers comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear potential to add value through energy-efficiency improvements or cosmetic updates. It will particularly suit families who value outdoor space, parking and good transport/broadband links while wanting to be close to the centre of York.
