Summary - 8 BARBICAN MEWS YORK YO10 5BZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Private garden and parking close to York's historic centre.
Chain-free with a 969-year lease and small £25 ground rent
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits just outside York’s medieval walls on a quiet no-through road, offering immediate access to the city centre. The flat includes a private lawned garden with storage shed and an allocated off-street parking space—rare extras for central apartments. It is chain-free and has a very long lease (969 years), making purchase straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Internally the layout is practical: hallway, mid-sized living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. The property benefits from double glazing and electric heating, and communal upkeep is covered by a below-average annual service charge. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local amenities, schools and transport links are all close by.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (around 499 sq ft) and the building requires some external maintenance. Heating is electric, which can be more expensive than gas, and the local area records higher crime levels—factors to consider for owner-occupiers and landlords. Holiday lets are not permitted under current terms.
Overall this is a compact, well-located city apartment offering garden space and parking—suitable for first-time buyers seeking central convenience or investors targeting student and professional rental demand.
