Two double bedrooms with good proportions
Original period features: sash windows, tiled floors, high ceilings
Enclosed paved yard with side access and storage outbuilding

Small plot and limited garden space typical of urban terraces
Solid brick walls; insulation likely required (assumed)

This attractive two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace blends original period features with ready-to-update spaces, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character close to York centre. High ceilings, sash-style windows, original tiled floors and deep skirtings give the house immediate charm and a solid foundation for cosmetic improvement.
The ground floor offers two reception rooms—including a cosy room with a log burner—flowing to a fitted kitchen and an enclosed paved yard with side access and an outbuilding for storage. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom and loft access; the overall footprint is compact but well laid out across multiple storeys.
Practical points: the property is freehold with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and it's a ten-minute walk from the city centre and close to schools and amenities. There is no off-street parking; permit on-street parking applies. Potential for further redevelopment exists but would require planning permission.
Notable negatives are the small rear outdoor space, likely solid-brick walls with assumed limited insulation, and local recorded higher crime levels. The house will suit buyers happy to carry out cosmetic and insulating upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.
