Approx. 654 sq ft; traditional layout

This two-bedroom leasehold apartment in Huntington offers a straightforward entry to York’s market, set within walking distance of Vanguard, Monkcross and the LNER Stadium. The building is modern, double-glazed and includes allocated off-street parking, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking reliable rental demand.
The layout is traditional with a living room, two bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 654 sq ft. Heating is electric via room heaters and the property benefits from an intercom; however, there is no communal gas or mains central heating. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect home-working tenants or occupiers who need fast internet.
The flat is chain-free and sits on a long lease (around 100 years remaining), helping a smooth purchase. Notable negatives to consider: this is a leasehold property, crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, and the property uses electric heating which can increase running costs. Prospective buyers should allow for possible upgrades to heating and broadband if those are priorities.
Nearby schooling ranges from good to outstanding, and local shops, buses and leisure facilities are within easy reach. The property’s size, location and rental appeal make it suitable for first-time buyers seeking an affordable home or investors targeting strong yields, but buyers should weigh running costs and local crime statistics before proceeding.
