Summary - WOODSMILL QUAY 18 SKELDERGATE YORK YO1 6DX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Turnkey city-centre apartment with river views — ideal as an investment or holiday let.
River and York Minster views from arched windows
A compact, turnkey one-bedroom apartment in the heart of York, Woodsmill Quay offers immediate rental or holiday-let potential with striking river and city views. Characterful exposed beams and brickwork combine with modern finishes to create a buttoned-up city bolt-hole that requires no immediate updating. Its open-plan living area and arched windows frame views across the River Ouse and York’s skyline, providing clear appeal to short-stay guests or professionals seeking central convenience.
This property is best suited to investors or buyers seeking a low-effort city pied-à-terre. The apartment is chain free and comes with a 101-year lease, established service charge and modest ground rent, making ownership straightforward. The EPC C rating and double glazing are positives, but heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may affect running costs.
Important practical points: the apartment is small at 382 sq ft, so space is geared toward singles or couples rather than families. The location carries a high flood risk and the local crime level is recorded as very high—both material considerations for insurance, tenant attraction and safety measures. Annual service charge (£2,200) and ground rent (£100) should be factored into yield calculations.
In short, this is a tidy, characterful riverside apartment with obvious short-let and commuter appeal, offered chain free. Buyers should weigh the strong central location and turnkey condition against flood risk, local crime levels and electric heating when assessing long-term suitability and running costs.
