Set within the sought-after Barbican Mews, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from York’s historic centre. The property offers a compact but smart living room, separate fitted kitchen and two bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefits from natural light and courtyard views. Allocated off-street parking is a rare convenience so close to the city walls.
Sold with no onward chain and a very long lease (969 years), the flat suits first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward city-centre rental. The building is modern, double-glazed and maintained to a good standard; EPC rating B supports reasonable running costs for an electric-heated apartment.
Buyers should note the apartment is compact (approximately 485 sq ft) and currently tenanted, so viewings or vacant possession will need to be arranged. Heating is electric storage radiators and the area records higher-than-average crime levels, factors to consider for long-term running and insurance. Annual outgoings include a modest ground rent (£25) and a below-average service charge (£738.82).
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance city base with parking and excellent transport and leisure links. It presents a clear entry point into York’s property market for first-time purchasers or a ready-made buy-to-let in a popular student-and-professional neighbourhood.
