Tucked into the heart of York, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, ready-to-move-in base ideal for a first-time buyer, city bolt-hole or buy-to-let investor. The property benefits from a permitted private parking space and a private entrance — rare advantages for central city living — and is sold optionally furnished for an immediate rental or hassle-free move.
The apartment is small but efficiently laid out with a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room. Double glazing and electric room heaters provide basic comfort; EPC C72 and Council Tax Band B keep running and occupancy costs reasonable. A long lease (956 years) removes common leasehold timing concerns and the service charge of £800 is flagged as below average for the block.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property lies in a high flood-risk area, and heating is solely electric room heaters which may mean higher energy bills than gas-heated homes. The apartment’s compact footprint suits single occupants or couples rather than those needing significant storage or living space.
Situated steps from shops, restaurants, river walks and York Railway Station, the location is the apartment’s strongest asset. For buyers wanting central access with private parking and a very long lease, this is a pragmatic, low-maintenance option — but assess flood risk and energy running costs before committing.
