Set just inside York’s city walls, this newly renovated studio offers an affordable city-base for a first-time buyer. The apartment is bright with a large front window, laminate floors, fitted storage with a pull-down bed and a compact fitted kitchen with breakfast bar. Vacant possession and no onward chain make this ready to move into.
Practical ownership is strong: a long lease (approximately 976 years remaining) and a share of the freehold give security. Annual running costs include a service charge of about £1,157 and a nominal ground rent of £10. The development includes gated access to well-maintained, sizeable communal gardens and visitor parking; an allocated off-street parking option is available.
Know the constraints: broadband speeds are reported slow, and the immediate area records higher crime levels than average, which may affect personal security perceptions and resale considerations. The apartment cannot be used as a holiday let but may be let long-term via an assured shorthold tenancy (AST).
For buyers prioritising location and low-entry ownership in York city centre, this studio combines low upkeep, recent refurbishment and strong tenure. It suits someone wanting a compact, ready-to-live-in home or a straightforward buy-to-let asset with easy access to central amenities, transport links and nearby schools.
