A spacious one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Fishergate, just moments from York’s city walls and Barbican events. The property combines period character—bay windows and a fireplace—with practical modern touches such as double glazing and a fitted kitchen. With its own private entrance and a generous 657 sq ft layout, the apartment feels larger than typical one-bed city flats.
Offered chain-free and with a long 999-year lease and no ground rent, this home suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking short-term letting potential in a student-and-professional neighbourhood. The double bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and the open-plan living/dining area benefits from good natural light and a wood-burning stove for added charm.
Be aware of a few material points: main heating is electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas, crime levels in the immediate area are higher than average, and service charge details are TBC. The EPC rating is C and council tax is low (Band A), which helps overall running costs. Overall, this property offers substantial space, character and lettable appeal in a sought-after central location, but buyers should factor in heating costs and local area safety considerations.
