About this property

Positioned just a short walk from York city centre, York Hospital, and a wide range of local amenities, this beautifully presented two-bedroom, two reception room terraced home offers a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, professional couples, young families or investors and is offered with no upward chain.

Combining character, comfort, and convenience, the property provides an ideal setting for modern city living while retaining many attractive original features. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is a home that has been carefully maintained and lovingly cared for.

Featuring an attractive composite front door and colour-matched guttering features, the property enjoys excellent kerb appeal and stands proudly as one of the most attractive terraces on the street. Throughout the home, high ceilings, picture rails, and dado rails create a wonderful sense of space and period charm, while the eclectic décor adds warmth, personality, and character.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway, which provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms and the staircase, conveniently positioned at the centre of the property. To the front of the home is a cosy and inviting reception room featuring a large window that allows natural light to flood the space. Currently arranged as a comfortable living room, this versatile room could equally serve as a dining room if desired. To the rear, a second generously proportioned reception room overlooks the garden and is currently used as a dining room. This bright and sociable space is ideal for entertaining guests, family dining, or relaxing, and benefits from useful under-stairs storage. Given its size, many buyers may choose to utilise this room as the principal lounge, offering flexibility to suit individual lifestyles. The larger-than-average galley kitchen is both stylish and practical, offering an excellent range of storage and workspace. Well-fitted and thoughtfully designed, it includes a freestanding gas cooker, washing machine, and boiler, making it perfectly equipped for everyday living. Beyond the kitchen is an inner hallway that provides direct access to the rear garden. Currently housing the 'fridge freezer, this useful area could also be utilised as additional storage space or a practical boot room for coats and shoes after entering from the garden. Located at the rear of the property is the beautifully modern shower room, which has recently been upgraded to a high standard. Featuring a spacious double shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC, and a large window that fills the room with natural light, the bathroom offers a contemporary finish and benefits from attractive part-tiled walls.

The first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, positioned on either side of the central staircase. Bedroom one enjoys peaceful views over the rear garden and benefits from fitted storage complete with a hanging rail, creating a practical yet uncluttered space. Bedroom Two is situated at the front of the property and offers generous accommodation, together with access to the boarded loft with an integrated ladder and an electric light, ideal for additional storage.

Externally, the property enjoys one of its most impressive features: a substantial L-shaped rear walled garden, a highly sought-after luxury for this part of York. Offering excellent privacy and outdoor space, the garden provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, entertaining guests, al fresco dining, or simply relaxing during the warmer months. The garden also benefits from gated rear access, providing additional convenience and practicality.

Further peace of mind is provided by the property's compliance with current rental legislation, with gas and electrical safety inspections having been completed during its period as a rental property.

This delightful home effortlessly balances traditional charm with modern practicality. Its spacious layout, character features, exceptional outdoor space, and prime location close to the city centre make it a truly outstanding opportunity.

Whether you are taking your first step onto the property ladder, searching for a stylish city home, or looking for a quality investment, this much-loved property is ready for its next chapter and is certain to impress from the moment you step inside. When viewing the property, it is immediately evident that it has been cherished and meticulously maintained, not only internally but externally too, making it one of the finest-looking terraced homes on the street.
