Set within the converted Grade II listed Rowntree Wharf on the river, this studio apartment combines riverside character with proven holiday-let income. The property is fully furnished, currently managed by an established operator, and benefits from a long lease (990 years) and chain-free sale — attractive features for investors or city-centre buyers seeking immediate income.
Interior highlights include exposed brick, large windows and a modern finish throughout. The open-plan studio layout, bespoke kitchen and contemporary bathroom present a turnkey short‑stay product in a sought‑after York location, a short walk from the city centre and local amenities. Solar panels on the building add an environmentally considerate note.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; the EPC rating is E. Service charge and ground rent are moderate but ongoing (approx. £2,585 and £300 per annum respectively). Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and local crime statistics are very high — both relevant for long‑term letting or full‑time occupation.
Overall this is a compact, income-producing studio with strong short-stay credentials and riverside appeal. It suits investors seeking an established holiday-let or first-time buyers wanting a city-centre pied‑à‑terre, provided they accept listed-building constraints, electric heating and the need to manage broadband and local-safety considerations.
