Summary - Swann Street, York YO23 1AF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact city-base near Bishopthorpe Road ideal for first buyers or investors.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor apartment
A well-located two-bedroom first-floor apartment just outside York’s historic walls, a short walk from the independent shops and cafés of Bishopthorpe Road. The apartment sits in a tidy period building and benefits from a generous living room, two usable bedrooms and communal garden access — practical for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors.
The layout is compact but sensible: a fitted kitchen with space for appliances, a fully tiled shower room, and a communal landing storage cupboard plus an external shed. The long lease (approx. 103 years remaining), low council tax band and a below-average service charge together keep running costs modest.
This is a property for someone seeking central convenience and refurbishment potential rather than a turnkey finish. Parts of the flat show tidy but dated finishes and would benefit from modest updating to maximise rental income or resale value. Note the first-floor access via stairs only — there is no lift — and the wider area records higher local crime levels, which buyers should consider alongside the city-centre proximity.
Offered chain free, the apartment represents an accessible entry into York’s market with practical storage, external amenity and scope to add value through light modernisation.
