Summary - 25 FLAT 6 BOOTHAM YORK YO30 7BW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious period apartment close to York station and city centre.
Rare permission for holiday lets — strong short-let potential
Set on Bootham, steps from York station and the historic city centre, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with modern styling and rare permission for holiday lets. Tall sash windows, original cornicing and a grand communal staircase create authentic charm, while the open-plan living area offers practical city living or short-let appeal.
At about 732 sq ft, the flat is unusually spacious for a one-bedroom city apartment, making it suitable as a comfortable pied-à-terre or a high-yield short-stay rental in a prime tourist location. Chain-free sale and a long lease (circa 131 years remaining) simplify purchase logistics and offer security of tenure.
There are notable practical considerations: heating uses electric room heaters, glazing is secondary, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation — so running costs and comfort may be affected. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the immediate area records very high crime levels, both of which could affect long-term rental desirability and daily living.
Overall, this property will suit an investor seeking short-let income or a city buyer wanting a characterful, low-maintenance pied‑à‑terre close to York’s amenities. Buyers should budget for possible upgrades to heating, insulation and internet connectivity, and check for any leasehold-related fees and service charges as part of due diligence.
