Set within one of York’s most sought-after streets, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies the upper level of a grand Victorian terrace. High ceilings, restored sash windows and original fireplaces give the rooms an immediate sense of scale and period character, while quality fittings—including a bespoke kitchen and refurbished bathrooms—make the home ready to enjoy.
The layout suits those looking to downsize without compromise: a large lounge/diner overlooks The Mount, a substantial master bedroom and a generous second bedroom provide comfortable sleeping space, and a practical utility/WC adds everyday convenience. The apartment benefits from a long lease (c.996 years) and a share of the freehold, so no ground rent applies.
Be aware of running costs and fabric performance typical of older properties: the service charge is approximately £1,955 (average), the EPC is D64, and the building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation unless upgraded. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms, which may matter for some buyers.
Location is a key strength: a few minutes’ walk to the city centre and railway station, with excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds. This home will suit downsizers or professional buyers who prioritise period grandeur, central convenience and long-term ownership security, while being comfortable with some potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
