Summary - 1 COLENSO STREET YORK YO23 1AS
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free Victorian end terrace near Bishopthorpe Road — ideal first home or investment close to riverside..
No onward chain — ready for quick purchase or let
Tucked just off Bishopthorpe Road, this chain-free Victorian end terrace offers a compact, well-presented two-bedroom layout suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The ground floor flows from an entrance hall into an open-plan living and dining space, with a contemporary fitted kitchen, added utility room and French doors that bring natural light into the rear. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with alcove storage and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The property has been successfully run as a holiday let and presents ready to occupy, with a private walled courtyard and useful outside storage. Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating by boiler and radiators, and a modest council tax band which helps running costs.
Buyers should note material downsides: the home sits in a high flood-risk area and is constructed with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, which may affect long-term running costs and comfort. Parking is on-street by permit only and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels. The plot is small and internal room sizes are compact, so the house suits those wanting a central, low-maintenance home rather than large gardens or extended living space.
Overall, this property represents straightforward entry into a popular York location close to independent shops, riverside walks and good schools. It will particularly suit purchasers looking for a low-hassle purchase with immediate rental potential, provided buyers factor flood risk and possible upgrade works into their plans.
