Set on a quiet street just off Bootham, this end-terrace two-bedroom townhouse offers immediate access to York city centre and the train station — ideal for first-time buyers or owner-occupiers seeking a central base. The ground floor layout includes a front kitchen, a rear lounge that opens into a south-facing conservatory, and direct access to a low-maintenance courtyard garden that benefits from good sunlight.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a first-floor bathroom. The house is a traditional 1930s–1940s brick build with double glazing, gas central heating and an average overall footprint of about 650 sq ft. It has been a much-loved home but now requires renovation and modernisation to reach contemporary standards.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, potential to create off-street parking from part of the rear garden subject to permission, and excellent local connectivity and amenities. Notable negatives are the EPC D rating, the property’s renovation requirement, and the local area’s higher crime statistics — all facts to weigh when considering investment and refurbishment costs.
Offered with no onward chain, this townhouse presents clear scope to add value through updating, redecoration, and sensible improvement works. Buyers looking to personalise a centrally located starter home or a city-base with short walking distance to key services will find the position and layout attractive.
