Summary - 42 ROSE STREET YORK YO31 8JF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bed close to university and hospital — good starter or buy-to-let.
Two double bedrooms and first-floor bathroom
This compact Victorian mid-terrace on Rose Street offers a practical, city-centre starter home or buy-to-let close to York’s university and hospital. The property retains period character externally with a traditional red-brick frontage and high ceilings, while internal layout delivers two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom. A small, low-maintenance walled courtyard provides private outdoor space with gated access to the alley.
The house is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for students or professionals. Council Tax sits in Band B, keeping running costs modest, and there is no flood risk recorded for the area.
Condition is modest and will suit buyers expecting to modernise. Internal decor and some fittings are dated, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated so energy upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. The neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan but recorded crime levels are above average; purchasers should weigh location convenience against this factor.
Overall this property represents an affordable city-centre opportunity: ideal for first-time buyers wanting proximity to central amenities or investors seeking a lettable two-bedroom close to the university. Buyers planning improvement should budget for cosmetic updating and possible thermal upgrades to maximise long-term value.
