A substantial Victorian end-terrace on a prominent corner plot, this former shop offers more than 2,300 sq ft across three storeys and significant scope for change. Currently configured with a large ground-floor former commercial space and five bedrooms above, the building is well placed for conversion into two dwellings or apartments (subject to planning). Its large principal rooms, high ceilings and period features give strong character and flexibility for a variety of buyers.
Well located for York city centre, the house is a short walk to local amenities, public transport and schools. The property includes a private rear courtyard, external access to upper floors and mains gas central heating already installed. For investors or developers the size, corner position and historic layout present clear potential to increase rental income or configure separate units.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: fixtures, finishes and services are dated and there are signs of damp in the principal living room. Insulation is likely minimal given solid brick construction and older double glazing; an upgrade will be needed to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Only one main bathroom is currently fitted for five bedrooms, so further sanitary provision will be necessary for multi-occupancy or divided units.
This is a renovation-led opportunity for those comfortable managing planning permissions, refurbishment programmes and short-term vacancy. If you’re seeking a large, characterful building in walking distance of the city centre with clear development upside, viewings are recommended to assess layout options and costs.
