Summary - 103, HESLINGTON ROAD, YORK YO10 5BH
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Central Grade II cottage with large gardens — needs full modernisation and listed consent.
Grade II listed detached Victorian cottage with period features
A compact Grade II listed detached cottage on Heslington Road, set less than a mile from York city centre and the University of York. The house retains period character — brick elevations, slate roof, chimneys and a distinctive blue door — and sits within unusually large side and rear gardens for this central location.
The interior offers two small bedrooms, one reception room and a dated kitchen and bathroom. The property requires full modernisation throughout, so it will suit a buyer comfortable with renovation who wants to add value and personalise the space. There is scope to extend the house subject to planning permission, but any work must respect the listed status and local consents.
Practical points to note: the home is leasehold (250 years remaining) with a nominal £1 ground rent and a user clause restricting use to private/main residence (no holiday let). The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment. The area is cosmopolitan and close to amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; local crime levels are higher than average so security and neighbourhood considerations matter.
This is a good opportunity for a first-time buyer or small household wanting a centrally located property with generous gardens and clear renovation potential, provided you are prepared for listed-building constraints and the costs of modernisation.
