A substantial Grade II listed mid-terrace close to York’s city walls, offered chain-free and with clear rental or refurbishment potential. The property spans five storeys and around 1,658 sq ft, currently arranged as six double bedrooms, three shower rooms and a basement double with ensuite — a flexible layout suited to multi-occupancy or a large household.
The house requires full modernisation: cosmetic and systems work is needed, and the listed status will require specialist permissions for many changes. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area and crime levels are high, both practical considerations for residents or tenants.
Positive practical points include freehold tenure, no onward chain, double glazing (unknown age), a small walled courtyard and excellent mobile signal. The location, a few hundred yards from the city walls and central amenities, is the primary value driver — strong demand from students, city workers and short-stay visitors supports rental options but any conversion may need planning and listed-building consent.
This is best suited to an experienced investor or buyer comfortable managing a listed-period renovation. The house provides a blank canvas to create higher-value accommodation, subject to necessary permissions and upgrade work to heating, insulation, wiring and connectivity.
