An attractive Grade II Listed four-bedroom Georgian house in York Square, offered chain free and arranged over four floors. The property benefits from generous room proportions, original sash windows and floorboards, plus an end-of-terrace position overlooking mature square gardens. A south-facing rear garden with side access adds rare outdoor space for the area.
Centrally located for the City and Canary Wharf, Limehouse DLR is a short walk away, and nearby Narrow Street and Limehouse Marina provide riverside amenities and eateries. Local schools include several Good and Outstanding-rated options, making this house suitable for growing families who value location and period character.
Buyers should be aware this is a Listed building in a conservation area: alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit remodelling or extensions. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern wall insulation and will need sensitive upgrading. Council tax is described as expensive, and local area indicators note high crime levels and significant deprivation.
Overall, this house will suit purchasers seeking a character-rich family home with scope for careful refurbishment rather than a move-in-ready property. Chain-free sale and potential to enhance living space (subject to consents) present clear upside for buyers prepared to invest in a period restoration.
