Local area: close to city centre, good transport, higher crime level
Set on the top floor of a modern development, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers bright, well-proportioned space just a short walk from York city centre. The lounge/dining room benefits from windows to two aspects, while a large kitchen has space for a small table. Allocated off-street parking and secure bike storage add practical everyday convenience.
Practical positives include a long lease (976 years), an EPC rating of C and a below-average annual service charge. The development is well maintained with communal grounds and offers good access to local amenities, cycle routes and public transport — ideal for first-time buyers who want a compact city base near shops, cafés and universities.
Buyers should note heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can affect running costs and may influence future refurbishment plans. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, so prospective purchasers should view and assess security measures in person. Service charge and small ground rent apply (£844.68 and £50 per year respectively).
