Set on sought-after Bishopthorpe Road, this three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers generous living space and period character close to Rowntree Park, the Millennium Bridge and the city centre. High ceilings, a front bay window and original tiled entrance hall retain authentic charm while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
The house is arranged over two floors with a lounge, separate dining room, long galley kitchen, utility and ground-floor cloakroom, plus three first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. A gated front forecourt and rear walled courtyard with storage shed suit low-maintenance outdoor space and provide rear alley access.
There is clear scope to personalise and modernise – many features are original and the property is built of solid brick (likely without wall insulation), so buyers should plan for potential upgrade works (insulation, cosmetic modernisation and any targeted improvements). The single bathroom and relatively small plot are practical considerations for larger families.
Position and tenure are strong selling points: freehold, no flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with easy commuter links and highly regarded local schools nearby. Overall this is a characterful family home with renovation potential in a highly desirable York location.
