Summary - GRASMEAD HOUSE, 1 FLAT 4 SCARCROFT HILL YORK YO24 1DF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Stylishly renovated 2-bed penthouse close to Bishopthorpe Road and York station.
Balcony with panoramic views over York city centre
This penthouse apartment occupies the top floor of a small Georgian Revival block on Scarcroft Hill, freshly renovated throughout and ready to move into. The open-plan living kitchen is bright and modern, with a balcony and genuine views across York city centre — a rare find for central locations. Two double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes to the principal, plus a contemporary shower room.
Practical details are straightforward: long lease (975 years), on-street permit parking, and a service charge of about £2,240 per year. The property is electrically heated (wall heaters) and runs on mains electricity rather than a communal system, which keeps installation simple but can increase running costs. EPC rating E54 reflects that energy-efficiency improvements could be worthwhile.
Location is a genuine strength: Bishopthorpe Road amenities, cafés, restaurants and York railway station are all walkable, making this well suited to first-time buyers or professionals who want a stylish city-base with convenient transport links. Note the broadband is listed as very slow — important if you work from home regularly.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful penthouse with strong central views and immediate curb appeal. Buyers should factor ongoing service charges, electric heating running costs, and the EPC/broadband limitations into their budgets, but the long lease and high-quality finish make it a practical, attractive purchase for city living.
