A three-storey Victorian terraced house on Monkgate, a short walk from York city centre and the Minster. The property retains period features such as high ceilings, bay window and fireplaces, and benefits from a long, private south-facing rear garden with a separate store/garage and parking — a rare find so close to the city. Its central location places shops, theatres, supermarkets and several good schools within easy reach.
The house is sold freehold but requires full refurbishment throughout: dated mid-20th-century kitchen, worn bathroom, and general modernisation needed. EPC rating G and assumed solid brick walls with no insulation mean significant energy-efficiency upgrades will be required. Broadband speeds are very slow and crime levels in the area are high; these are material factors for both occupiers and lettings.
For investors or buyers seeking a renovation project, the property offers clear potential: three double bedrooms across two upper floors, good room proportions with high ceilings, and a sizeable rear plot that could be landscaped or improved to add value. Buyers should budget for heating, insulation, wiring updates and full cosmetics; survey recommended to confirm any structural or hidden issues.
This is a practical city-centre opportunity for someone prepared to invest in upgrades to unlock period charm and rental or resale potential. Families will appreciate proximity to a number of well-rated schools, while investors can target strong central demand — but factor in remediation costs and slower connectivity when assessing returns.
