Character-filled two-bed terrace near Rowntree Park and the station — scope to modernise.

Two double bedrooms plus fully boarded loft for storage or conversion potential
Rear walled courtyard with decking and brick store—small, low-maintenance
Bay-fronted lounge and dining room with log burner/feature fireplace
Mixed glazing (timber sash, secondary glazing, uPVC) — install dates unknown
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; opportunity to improve thermal efficiency
EPC rating D; mains gas boiler and radiators provide central heating
Council Tax Band B; no flood risk, in a very affluent, low-crime area
Set on a desirable York street, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers bright, characterful accommodation ideal for a first-time buyer wanting a central base. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and period details give immediate charm, while the fully boarded loft adds useful storage or potential future conversion (subject to checks).
The layout is practical: lounge, dining room with a log burner, fitted kitchen and a rear utility/WC on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom upstairs. A small walled rear courtyard with decking and a brick store provides low-maintenance outdoor space close to Rowntree Park, local shops and the railway station.
The home is largely in good order for its age but buyers should note a few material points: the property dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with assumed limited insulation; glazing history is mixed (some timber sash windows, secondary glazing and uPVC elsewhere); the EPC is rated D. Cosmetic updating and improved insulation/heating efficiency would add value and comfort.
Living here places you in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to well-regarded schools and city amenities. The house suits buyers looking for a compact city home with period character and scope to modernise, or an investor seeking a centrally located rental with strong local demand.
