This well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace sits on a quiet side street within easy walking distance of York city centre and the university. The house has been maintained to a high standard and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and period character such as fireplaces and a bay window. An enclosed walled courtyard provides private outdoor space and two brick outhouses for storage.
The accommodation is compact and efficiently arranged across multiple floors with an entrance lobby, separate living and dining rooms, a fitted kitchen and a ground-floor shower room. The property’s footprint (approximately 763 sq ft) and small plot size suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base, first-time buyers or investors targeting student or professional lets. On-street parking is available but not guaranteed.
Notable practical points: the terrace was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no built-in cavity insulation assumed) and double glazing was installed post-2002. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. The area is cosmopolitan and close to amenities, but it has an above-average recorded crime level and the immediate neighbourhood is known for student accommodation, which may mean occasional noise and transient neighbours.
Offered freehold and with no onward chain, this home is ready for a swift sale. It presents as a comfortable ready-to-live-in property with scope for cosmetic updates or letting, while purchasers should allow for potential updating of insulation and checking of services as no appliances or systems have been independently tested.
