Set around the mature green of York Square, this Grade II Listed end-of-terrace Georgian house offers generous room proportions across four floors and 1,246 sq ft. The property is chain free and sits directly overlooking the square, with a south-facing garden and useful side access — rare for this conservation area. Period features include sash windows and floorboards; the layout includes four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a reception open to the kitchen and a utility room.
The house is well connected: Limehouse DLR is close by for fast links to the City and Canary Wharf, and local amenities and riverside dining on Narrow Street are within easy reach. For families, several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, including Cayley Primary (Good) and Stepney All Saints (Outstanding).
Buyers should note material restrictions and practical issues. The listed status will complicate alterations and may restrict permitted changes. The end-terrace was built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and the property may need upgrading to modern thermal standards. Broadband speeds are average, council tax is expensive, and local crime levels and area deprivation are noted as high/very deprived — factors to consider for long-term living or letting.
This home suits a buyer seeking period character and location over immediate turnkey condition. It presents clear potential for sympathetic refurbishment where allowed by listing consent, or as a substantial family home with private outside space in a conservation setting. Chain-free status makes a swift purchase process possible for the right buyer.
