Central York flat with parking and garden—ideal entry-level city living.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with allocated off-street parking
Long lease: 972 years remaining, share of freehold
Approx 603 sq ft; compact layout suited to city living
Communal garden and well-maintained modern development
Service charge approximately £1,120 per year (paid quarterly)
Heating: electric storage heaters—potentially higher running costs
Very slow broadband speeds — may affect home working/streaming
Close walk to Micklegate and York city centre amenities
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a well-kept modern development, positioned within easy walking distance of Micklegate and York city centre. The long 972-year lease and allocated off-street parking make this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer seeking central convenience and outdoor space without the upkeep of a house.
Internally the layout is practical: a bright reception room leads to a breakfast kitchen with fitted units and space for appliances, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom. The development benefits from attractive communal gardens and low local crime, offering a relaxed city-centre setting for everyday life.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the apartment is compact at about 603 sq ft and uses electric storage heating, which can mean higher energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are listed as very slow, which could be important for home working or streaming. The property carries an annual service charge of approximately £1,120.
Overall, this is a sensible, low-maintenance city-centre flat with strong location benefits, long lease security and allocated parking. It will suit first-time purchasers or investors looking for a lettable central apartment, provided they accept the modest size and higher running costs associated with electric heating and limited broadband performance.
