Summary - 4 SCARCROFT LANE YORK YO23 1AD
3 bed 3 bath House
Sunny enclosed garden, flexible layout and excellent city access for lifestyle buyers.
Detached 19th‑century cottage with pronounced period features
This detached 19th‑century cottage on Scarcroft Lane combines period character with contemporary living in a highly convenient city‑centre location. The house offers a generous 34 ft open‑plan kitchen/living/dining area, a principal bedroom with en suite, a versatile ground‑floor bedroom with shower room, and secure off‑street parking for two cars — rare for central York.
The sunny, sheltered courtyard garden provides a private outdoor room ideal for al fresco dining, while the property sits an easy walk from Bishopthorpe Road’s cafés and around ten minutes to York Railway Station and the Minster. Original features such as cast‑iron fireplaces, arched windows and geometric tiled flooring sit alongside modern kitchen and bathroom fittings.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, glazing dates from before 2002, and broadband speeds are reported slow despite a superfast service being available locally. The plot is modest in footprint and the property sits in an area with high reported crime levels; prospective purchasers should assess security and insulation opportunities.
Overall, this home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, centrally located house with private parking and flexible accommodation, and those willing to invest in targeted improvements (insulation, windows or tech upgrades) to maximise comfort and running costs.
