Summary - City Gate, Icona 2, Eboracum Way, York, North Yorkshire YO31 7AN
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Stylish city apartment with rental potential and long lease.
Bright open-plan living with modern fitted kitchen
Set in a contemporary 2023 development just outside York’s historic walls, this two-bedroom apartment offers bright open-plan living and ready-made rental potential. At about 701 sq ft, the home includes a modern fitted kitchen, a smart double bedroom, and a four-piece bathroom — arranged for comfortable city living and flexibility for long-term occupation or short-let use. The property is chain-free and sold leasehold with 250 years from March 2023, offering long-term tenure security.
Practical running costs are clear: a service charge of £1,925 per year and a peppercorn ground rent. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be efficient to maintain but may give higher energy bills than gas systems; buyers should factor ongoing electricity costs into their budget. Council Tax is Band C.
Currently operating successfully as an Airbnb, the apartment will appeal to investors seeking immediate income and to first-time buyers wanting a stylish, centrally located home. The development offers secure access and communal amenities, and the location places shops, cafés, green spaces and York Station within easy reach.
Buyers are advised to view to appreciate scale, light and configuration. The apartment is well-presented and move-in ready, but prospective purchasers should carry out standard checks on services and running costs, and consider energy bills given the electric heating.
