Summary - 10, Earlsborough Terrace YO30 7BQ
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious period home with river views and garden, ripe for energy upgrades.
Riverside location overlooking the River Ouse and scenic riverside walk to city centre
Four bedrooms across three floors; large family bathroom with separate shower
South-facing split-level patio garden with modernised 2024 flood defence wall
Period features: deep bay window, corniced ceilings, cast-iron fireplace, pine floors
Paved rear courtyard previously used for off-street parking; could be reinstated
EPC rating E; likely opportunity for insulation and energy upgrades
Solid brick walls (probably no cavity insulation) and single bathroom for four beds
Situated in a very high crime area; local deprivation and busy city setting
Set directly above the River Ouse, this four-bedroom Victorian terraced townhouse blends riverside character with practical updates. Period features include a deep bay window, corniced ceilings, cast-iron fireplace and stripped pine floorboards, giving living rooms strong original charm. The south-facing, split-level patio garden benefits from a modernised flood defence wall (refurbished 2024 by the Environment Agency).
The layout offers two double bedrooms on the first floor and two further rooms on the top floor, served by a large family bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. The kitchen overlooks a paved rear courtyard which has previously been used for off-street parking and could be reinstated with replacement gates. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place, with an EPC of E.
Practical considerations are important: the property sits in a very high crime area and the terrace’s solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The single bathroom serves four bedrooms, and the EPC rating indicates energy improvements could be beneficial. Council Tax is Band E (approx. £2,640 for 2025/26).
This house will suit buyers after a spacious period home in a prime, walkable city location — families wanting riverside access and anyone keen to add value through energy and cosmetic upgrades. Viewing is recommended to appreciate river views, ceiling heights and the garden’s sunny aspect.
