Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in the Hungate development, presented with contemporary fittings and a private balcony. The open-plan living space and integrated kitchen make efficient use of the 530 sq ft, while built-in storage and a utility cupboard add practical convenience. Underfloor heating supplied via the community scheme keeps the apartment comfortable year-round; this system is supplied by Full Power Utilities and, as noted, cannot be changed.
The development sits within York’s city walls and benefits from an impressive communal courtyard, secure bicycle storage and easy access to shops, cafés, the railway station and cultural attractions. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting city living and rental demand. The long lease (around 180 years remaining from the details provided) is a positive for buyers seeking security of tenure.
Costs and local context are important: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,550 and a ground rent of £170 (review due 2044). The location is lively and close to student-oriented amenities; local crime statistics are described as very high, which may concern some purchasers and could influence rental yields and insurance costs.
This apartment suits first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in city base or investors targeting central York rental. It offers low flood risk, efficient heating and a modern finish, but budget realistically for ongoing service charges, communal management and the implications of the community heating arrangement.
