This chain-free, two-bedroom semi sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and offers an accessible entry into York’s property market. The extended ground floor adds useful living space — a bay-fronted lounge, a large dining room that could double as a home office or playroom, and a recently upgraded kitchen with integrated appliances. The property is well suited to first-time buyers or those moving up the ladder who want extra internal space without immediate structural work.
Practical features include a wide gravel driveway for off-street parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a rear garden backing onto allotments that provides a private outdoor area and scope for landscaping or children’s play. There is also scope to install an EV charger at the driveway. The internal layout is straightforward and ready to use, with a ground-floor cloakroom and a first-floor shower room serving both bedrooms.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated D and external walls are traditional solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so insulating improvements could be needed to reduce running costs. Double glazing appears to be older (fitted before 2002), and some external maintenance or roof work may be required over time. The plot is modest in size, so garden space is limited compared with larger suburban plots.
Overall this is a practical, well-located home close to York city centre, good schools and frequent transport links. It offers immediate liveability with sensible scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to increase comfort and future value.
