This spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies an elegant Victorian townhouse on Bootham, an attractive city-centre address with easy access to Museum Gardens and York station. High ceilings, sash windows and an original marble fireplace retain strong period character, while a contemporary dining kitchen and en-suite add modern convenience.
The layout offers two generous double bedrooms, an impressive light-filled reception room and a large house bathroom with both bath and separate shower. At 876 sq ft and with a very long lease (share of freehold, c.970 years), the flat suits buyers seeking period charm with practical long-term ownership security. There are no lease restrictions on holiday lets, adding flexibility for investors.
Practical considerations are straightforward: on-street permit parking only, an average service charge of c.£1,800 pa, and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Construction is solid brick (pre-1900) with assumed little wall insulation, so owners should expect potential improvement costs if upgrading thermal performance.
The setting is convenient for independent shops, cafés, schools and riverside walks, but note local factors: recorded very high crime levels, slow broadband speeds and a wider area classification indicating a student/professional mix and pockets of deprivation. These realities affect resale and rental dynamics and should be weighed alongside the property’s strong central-location appeal.
