Driveway providing off-street parking and paved front garden

Set less than a mile west of York’s historic walls, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical, chain-free purchase for a family or first-time buyer prepared to update. The layout is straightforward: a front lounge with fireplace, kitchen leading to a rear porch and south-facing garden, plus a single family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and useful built-in storage in the master and landing.
Outside benefits include a paved front garden with driveway for off-street parking and gated side access to a generous south-facing rear garden with shed and greenhouse — a real asset for outdoor family time and gardening. The property is freehold, has gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband in the area and economical council tax banding.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the house needs renovation and updating throughout, cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms. The EPC is C, and some systems (kitchen, bathroom, finishes) will likely require work to meet modern standards. Buyers should budget for refurbishment to unlock the home’s potential and consider insulating cavity walls.
For buyers seeking proximity to York city centre, mainline rail connections and a wide choice of schools — including several highly rated independent options — this property presents a sensible long-term prospect. It will suit those who want to add value through improvement rather than move into a finished home.
