Set on a sought-after, tree-lined street near York city centre and the station, this compact open-plan apartment sits within an impressive period terrace. The main room is bright, benefitting from a large bay window with a fitted fold-down bed and window-seat storage — a practical layout for single occupancy or short-term renting.
The building includes a well-kept communal garden and on-street permit parking. The property is leasehold with a very long remaining term (around 960 years) and no ground rent; service charges are charged at £218 per calendar month for ten months per year. Council tax band A makes running costs low.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the apartment is single glazed, has no central heating system (electric heaters assumed) and the walls are solid brick with no insulation. The kitchenette and bathroom are compact and there is limited internal space — this is a small studio rather than a one-bedroom flat. These factors mean some refurbishment and heating provision will be needed to maximise comfort and rental potential.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located property that will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base or an investor targeting strong rental demand near the university and transport links. The combination of long lease, low council tax and communal amenities represents clear practical value, provided buyers accept the need for basic upgrades.
