Set on the third floor of The Residence on Bishopthorpe Road, this one-bedroom apartment offers compact, well-planned living in a desirable York location. The open-plan sitting area is bright with high windows and wood flooring; a modern kitchen and bathroom complete the accommodation. At about 506 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance city base close to green space and local amenities.
Practical running costs are predictable: a long lease (242 years), an annual service charge of £1,882.60 and ground rent of £250. Heating is provided via a community scheme and the property holds an EPC rating of C. Off-street parking and access to communal green space add everyday convenience.
This apartment’s strengths are its location — between the racecourse and Bishopthorpe Road’s shops and cafés — and its modern, converted-industrial character. Notable drawbacks are the relatively high service charge for a one-bedroom, community heating (which can limit individual control), and its third-floor position, which may affect accessibility. Overall it presents a straightforward, value-conscious purchase for buyers prioritising location and low internal maintenance.
