Summary - 26 MONTROSE AVENUE YORK YO31 8FB
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Well-located for city centre, hospital and transport links.
One generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobe
This one-bedroom semi-detached house on Montrose Avenue offers a practical, low-maintenance step onto the York property ladder or a straightforward rental opportunity. The ground floor provides a comfortable living room, a modern kitchen with space for dining and a conservatory that opens onto a private rear garden — useful extra living space in warmer months. A generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a modern three-piece bathroom sit on the first floor.
The property is gas-free and heated by electric storage heaters; this keeps installation simple but may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The plot is modest and the garden is enclosed and private, suitable for relaxing or light gardening. Off-street parking is provided by a private driveway, and the home is offered freehold with very low council tax (Band A).
Location is a key selling point: within walking distance of York city centre, York Hospital and the Nestlé site, with good road links via the A59 and A1237. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and connectivity. Local schools rated Good and Outstanding are within reach, and local shops, leisure and transport links make everyday life convenient.
Buyers should note wider neighbourhood context: the area is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels — factors that may affect long-term resale or rental yields. Constructed in the 1980s with double glazing fitted after 2002 and assumed insulated cavity walls, the house appears well presented but buyers are recommended to verify services and heating efficiency before exchange. Overall, this is a compact, well-located home that suits first-time buyers wanting proximity to the city or investors seeking a manageable rental property.
