This well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable step onto York’s property ladder. Arranged over two storeys, the home has a comfortable living room, compact kitchen and a small rear patio for low-maintenance outdoor space. The freehold, chain-free sale and short walk (around 20 minutes) to the city centre are strong location benefits.
The house retains period character in a Victorian red-brick façade and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Accommodation totals about 438 sq ft, making it manageable for first-time buyers or those seeking a straightforward buy-to-let with modest upkeep. Local amenities, schools and good broadband and mobile signal add practical convenience.
Notable issues are factual and should be considered: the plot and rooms are small, the wall construction is solid brick with no known insulation, and the property dates from before 1900 — further insulation or upgrade work could be needed. Flood risk is assessed as medium and local crime levels are above average; purchasers should factor these into insurance and security plans.
Overall this property suits a buyer wanting a central, low-maintenance home with character, or an investor targeting reliable rental demand. A sensible survey is recommended to confirm services, insulation and any refurbishment scope before committing.
