A neatly presented Victorian mid-terrace less than a mile from York’s historic city walls, this two-bedroom freehold home suits first-time buyers seeking a compact city base. The living room is bright with an attractive fireplace and built-in alcove storage. The rear kitchen leads directly to a west-facing courtyard, ideal for evening sun and low-maintenance outdoor space. A modern shower room completes the ground floor.
Both bedrooms are double-sized and sit on the first floor; the layout makes efficient use of 564 sq ft for everyday living. Practical benefits include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — all useful for remote working or streaming. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs modest and the property is sold freehold.
Important considerations: the house is small and on a small plot, so storage and entertaining space are limited. The building is solid brick and assumed to lack cavity wall insulation, so further insulation works could improve comfort and running costs. There is a medium flood risk for the area and local crime statistics are above average; buyers should review local flood maps and security measures. Despite being beautifully presented, buyers should expect aging-period fabric and possible upgrade needs in the longer term.
