A three-bedroom Victorian terrace close to Hull Road and York University, offered chain-free and ready for a full modernisation. The house retains period features — bay window, high ceilings, original fireplace and cornicing — that will appeal to buyers seeking character. Internally the layout provides a front living room, rear dining room with wood-burning stove, ground-floor shower room, kitchen and small rear yard. Two double bedrooms sit on the first floor with a third double on the second/loft floor.
This property is a clear project: it requires significant updating throughout, including cosmetic refurbishment and likely modern services upgrades. There are signs of dated decor and potential damp in parts; the solid-brick walls have no cavity insulation (assumed). For those prepared to invest time and capital, the home offers scope to create a comfortable, characterful city house or a strong buy-to-let opportunity in a popular student and professional neighbourhood.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no onward chain, double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas heating and a council tax band that is economical. Outdoor space is limited to a small front forecourt and modest rear yard, so buyers seeking large gardens should note the constraint. Nearby amenities, good transport links and proximity to York city centre and the university strengthen rental and resale prospects.
