Spacious 1930s semi with double garage, large gardens and strong school links — in need of modernisation.
Large 1,507 sq ft three-bedroom semi-detached home
An attractive 1930s semi-detached home on Shipton Road, offering generous living space (1,507 sq ft), mature front and rear gardens, and a double garage. The property’s bay-fronted lounge, adjoining dining room and partially converted loft create flexible living for families who value space close to York city centre and highly regarded schools.
The house requires modernisation throughout: kitchen, bathroom and general decoration/upgrading are needed, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. The loft is partially converted and boarded with skylights and a toilet but is accessed by a pull-down ladder — useful, but not a full, compliant bedroom conversion as-is.
This is a clear value-add opportunity for buyers wanting a roomy family home in a sought-after, low-crime area. Buyers should budget for refurbishment works (heating and electrics to be checked) while benefitting from freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband in an affluent suburban location.
