Set within the conservation area of Bishophill and tucked inside the city walls, this two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers an attractive city-centre base for a first-time buyer. The ground floor living-through dining room opens via double doors to a private courtyard, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining or quiet evenings. The kitchen has space for essential appliances and practical everyday use.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a shower-over-bath bathroom, with a further loft room on the second floor currently used for storage but offering flexible space for a study, bedroom or hobby room (subject to any required consent). The property is offered chain free, which supports a quicker move.
Practical points to note: the house is a traditional solid-brick build (pre-1900) and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation or windows may be needed to improve energy efficiency. Parking is on-street by permit only and the rear outside space is a modest courtyard rather than a large garden.
Overall this mid-terrace combines period character and city-centre convenience with clear potential to personalise and improve. It suits a buyer wanting a central York address who is prepared to invest modestly in energy and cosmetic upgrades, or an investor seeking a well-located rental with straightforward layout and good local demand.
