Summary - 68 Cordwainers Court, Black Horse Lane YO1 7NE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled city-centre apartment with balcony and long lease, chain free.
Second-floor two-bed apartment with open-plan living and balcony
Light-filled and compact, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment in Hungate offers easy city-centre living with a balcony overlooking the nearby nature reserve. The open-plan lounge, dining area and fitted kitchen create a practical social space, while a built-in wardrobe and storage cupboard help maximise the apartment’s modest footprint. Electric panel heaters and double glazing keep things simple and low-maintenance.
The development sits a short walk from York’s historic centre and nearby supermarkets, making daily errands and leisure straightforward. Communal landscaped gardens and secure communal entrance with lift add convenience for residents. With a long lease (199 years from 2007) and no onward chain, the flat is straightforward to purchase and could suit a first-time buyer or a city-centre buy-to-let investor.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: an above-average service charge (£2,836pa) and an annual ground rent (£275) apply. The apartment is electrically heated (panel heaters), so heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives. The area records very high crime levels and is classified locally as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and wider migrant commuter area, which may influence long-term buyer priorities and rental profiles.
Overall, this is a practical, modern city apartment that trades spaciousness for location and low-maintenance living. It’s best suited to buyers wanting immediate access to York city life or investors seeking a centrally positioned rental with straightforward management, provided they factor in service charges, electric heating costs and the local area profile.
