A spacious two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in South Bank, York, set within walking distance of Bishy Road shops and the racecourse. The house retains many original features — marble and cast-iron fireplaces, cornicing and a bay window — and offers comfortable living across roughly 932 sq ft with gas central heating and uPVC double glazing.
The layout suits a small family or first-time buyers who value period character and convenient city-edge living. The accommodation includes a separate dining room, generous bathroom with a roll-top bath, and a pleasant walled rear courtyard with brick stores. Local schools rated Good to Outstanding add to the family appeal.
Buyers should note this is a pre-1900 solid-brick property with assumed lack of wall insulation; energy performance is EPC D (66). The plot is small and there is no garage. While the property is tastefully presented, upgrading insulation, windows (double glazing fitted before 2002) or other modern efficiencies may be worthwhile to reduce running costs and improve comfort.
Overall this large period townhouse offers strong location value, authentic character and straightforward scope for targeted improvements — ideal for buyers who want a character home close to amenities and city life.
