- Allocated off-street parking included — rare for city centre flats
- Excellent views of York city walls and short walk to York Minster
- Long lease (954 years) and no ground rent

- Electric room heating and secondary glazing — higher running costs likely

- Area records higher crime levels; factor into letting or living plans
Set in a handsome period block just a short walk from York Minster, this immaculately presented one-bedroom apartment is offered as a ready-made investment or city pied-à-terre. The property has a proven holiday-let track record, comes with allocated off-street parking and attractive views over the city walls — all useful income and rental selling points.
Inside, the compact 463 sq ft layout makes efficient use of loft-space proportions: a bright living room with dormer window, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and a contemporary shower room. The apartment is offered with no onward chain and benefits from an exceptionally long lease (954 years) and no ground rent, simplifying long-term ownership.
Buyers should factor in a few practical drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters (higher running costs than gas), glazing is secondary rather than double glazed, and the EPC is rated E. Service charges are £2,040 pa with an additional reserve contribution currently charged at £100 per quarter to cover planned maintenance. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow locally, and the area records higher crime levels — important for both owner-occupiers and short-stay guests to consider.
For investors, the combination of central location, allocated parking and established holiday-let history creates clear rental potential; for city buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance home, the property offers turn-key living in one of York’s most desirable central locations. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and running costs in person.
