This well‑proportioned Victorian mid‑terrace on Scarcroft Road combines period character with contemporary living across three floors. The house has been newly renovated and presents four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large extended kitchen‑diner with Crittall‑style glazing that opens to a private courtyard — a rare city-centre family layout with far‑reaching Minster views from the top floor.
Practical strengths include a useful basement with scope for conversion (subject to consents), double glazing, mains gas central heating and roomy living spaces totalling about 2,171 sq ft. The property sits within easy walking distance of the city centre, local parks and a wide mix of shops, cafes and transport links — attractive to families, professionals or investor landlords seeking strong rental demand.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the EPC rating is D and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further energy efficiency work may be advisable. On-street parking only and a small courtyard garden mean outdoor space is modest. The area records higher local crime figures and local deprivation metrics that some buyers will want to weigh against the location benefits.
Overall, this is a striking, turn‑key period home in a desirable central York street. It suits a family wanting generous, characterful accommodation close to schools and green space, or an investor looking for a substantial, well‑presented terrace with conversion potential. Full viewing recommended to appreciate the layout and Minster aspects.
