Summary - 7 WOLFE AVENUE YORK YO31 0SF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bedroom house with long garden, garage and planning potential near nature reserve.
Three well-proportioned, light-filled bedrooms
Tucked away on a quiet, leafy lane just off Melrosegate, this 1930s semi-detached house offers comfortable, family-sized accommodation with a long, private rear garden. The front living room has a square bay and wood-burning stove, with a bright dining room opening onto a patio — ideal for everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. Heating is provided by an air source heat pump alongside a gas boiler, contributing to lower running costs and year-round comfort.
The property includes off-street parking, a side driveway and a single garage, plus planning permission was previously granted for a single-storey rear extension to create open-plan living and for a garden studio in place of the garage — useful potential to increase living space or create a home office. Local conveniences, strong schools and direct cycle routes through St Nick’s Nature Reserve and to Foss Islands Shopping Centre make this a practical family location close to York city centre.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which will affect insurance and may require mitigation; double glazing installation dates are unknown; and any extension or studio build will require reconfirmation of planning if not implemented. Overall, this is a bright, well-proportioned period family home with garden potential and clear scope to add value, but purchasers must account for flood considerations and any further renovation costs.
