This compact ground-floor studio sits in a converted riverside mill and offers a turnkey, low-maintenance rental or pied-à-terre option in central York. The building’s industrial character — exposed brick, large arched windows and high ceilings — gives the apartment visual appeal and steady demand from short-stay and city-centre tenants.
The apartment benefits from south-facing river views, a long lease (989 years) and modest running costs for a centrally located property. Its size (c.303 sq ft) and simple layout keep management straightforward, making it an attractive buy-to-let or first-time purchase for someone prioritising location over space.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the property is small and on the ground/low level, which can affect natural security and privacy; the Energy Performance Certificate is E; broadband speeds are reported as very slow; and local crime is recorded as very high. Annual service charge and ground rent apply (service charge £2,022; ground rent £300).
Overall, this is a characterful, city-centre studio with proven short-let appeal and low day-to-day maintenance. It suits an investor or single buyer who values riverside location and easy management, while accepting compact living, potential connectivity limits and some security considerations.
