Set in the heart of York, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a strong rental and holiday-let proposition thanks to its central position and deceptively generous layout. The house is arranged over three floors with two double bedrooms, a first-floor bathroom and a particularly spacious top-floor room with dormer and roof lights suitable for mixed use as bedroom and home office.
Interior character remains a key asset: original sash window with internal shutters, Victorian arched fireplace and timber floors in reception rooms, plus a wood-burning stove in the dining room. The galley kitchen is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances, and the property is presented in good decorative order throughout, allowing immediate occupation or quick relet.
Outside, a private rear courtyard and two brick-built outhouses provide useful storage and exterior seating space, with rear access to a service lane. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas heating and freehold tenure; there is no risk of flooding.
Notable negatives are factual: the EPC is D and the property’s solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation, so energy efficiency improvements may be required. The plot is small and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels, which may affect some buyer or tenant preferences. Offered with no onward chain, the house is suited to buy-to-let investors or those seeking a centrally located second home.
