Modern first-floor flat with communal gardens near York city centre.
First-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx. 480 sq ft
A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment set on the first floor of a well-kept development in Heworth, just a short walk from York city centre. The open-plan living/kitchen and large windows create bright, flexible space across about 480 sq ft, while communal gardens back directly onto the River Foss for pleasant green views.
This property suits buy-to-let investors or a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base. The lease has 107 years remaining; annual costs include a service charge of £665.65, ground rent £288.01 and a small reserve fund contribution. Good broadband and mobile signal make the flat attractive to renters who work from home.
Buyers should note clear negatives: the apartment is in a high flood-risk area and local crime levels are above average. Heating is electric (room heaters), which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. EPC C indicates moderate energy efficiency but not the top rating.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-upkeep investment or starter home in a sought-after riverside spot. Its strengths are location, communal gardens and decent lease length; its limitations are flood risk, electric heating and local crime statistics—factors to weigh when budgeting for insurance, utilities and potential tenant demand.
