This recently refurbished Victorian mid-terrace offers a ready-to-move-in two-bedroom home close to York city centre. Thoughtful recent works — including a new roof, full rewire, new boiler, kitchen and bathroom — reduce short-term maintenance and make the property particularly appealing to first-time buyers seeking low initial upkeep.
Interior space is compact but well arranged: a bay-fronted living room leads through to a dining room and a fitted kitchen, with two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom on the first floor. UPVC double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort, while the small rear courtyard gives outside space for plants or a seating area.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: the plot is small, on-street parking only, and the dwelling has an EPC rating of D. The terrace dates from c.1900–1929 and walls are likely solid brick with no insulation, which may limit energy efficiency and future running costs unless upgraded. The immediate area is a busy student and professional neighbourhood and local recorded crime levels are higher than average — factors to consider for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance city base or an investor seeking a well-presented let in a central location. The recent major works provide reassurance, but prospective purchasers should factor in potential energy-improvement costs and the constraints of a compact urban plot.
