Summary - 1 KENSINGTON STREET YORK YO23 1JA
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Larger-than-average Victorian end-terrace with period character
A larger-than-average Victorian end terrace on sought-after South Bank, just off Bishopthorpe Road. The house offers two double bedrooms, a bright loft conversion that works well as an office or extra bedroom, and a generous, unusually sunny rear garden with raised decking and secure brick storage.
Ground floor layout provides separate lounge, large living room and a galley kitchen, making everyday family life straightforward. The property is well positioned for local shops, excellent schools including Knavesmire Primary and All Saints, parks and easy access to York city centre — a strong location for families wanting both convenience and outdoor space.
As a period home built before 1900 there are practical considerations: solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (assumed) which may affect heating bills and comfort; the house has just one bathroom; and typical older-property maintenance should be expected. The overall size (about 956 sq ft) and loft room give flexibility, but buyers should factor in potential upgrade and insulation works if desired.
This freehold property suits buyers seeking a character family home in a very desirable part of York with outdoor space rare for terraces. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the garden, loft room and overall footprint in this popular neighbourhood.
