Summary - 3 CURLEW HOUSE, ELVINGTON TERRACE, YORK YO10 3DG
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Allocated parking and communal gardens a short walk from York city centre.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment with open-plan living
Located just outside York’s city walls, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen and Juliet balcony. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room; a second double also includes storage. Residents use secure communal hallways with lift access and enjoy attractive lawned communal gardens plus an allocated parking space — a rare convenience so close to the city centre.
Practical details suit someone wanting low-maintenance living or a buy-to-let opportunity: the apartment has double glazing, built-in appliances and electric storage heating. The property sits on a long lease (approximately 103 years remaining), with an annual ground rent around £233.71 and a quarterly service charge of about £564.29 covering communal upkeep.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The development is in an area classified as deprived with very high local crime rates — factors that may affect insurability, security needs, and rental appeal. Heating is electric storage/room heaters which can be more expensive than mains gas. As a leasehold apartment, buyers should check long-term costs and lender requirements.
For first-time buyers or investors wanting easy city access, allocated parking and lift access add genuine convenience, and the apartment’s size and layout offer straightforward rental or owner-occupation potential. Buyers seeking lower running costs, a rural setting, or a freehold house should note the urban, leasehold nature and communal charges.
