Description

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this well-proportioned one-bedroom top floor apartment, set within the historic city walls in the highly sought-after Bishophill area of York. Tucked away on a quaint and charming street near the Bar Walls, this lovely home enjoys a real sense of community while being just moments from everything the city has to offer.

Ideally positioned for city living, the property is within easy walking distance of York railway station, riverside walks and the vibrant Bishopthorpe Road, known for its independent shops, pubs, cafes and eateries. The setting perfectly balances convenience with a quieter, more characterful location within our historic city.

Accessed at the rear via a secure communal entrance with stairs leading to the top floor, the apartment opens into an entrance hall which leads through to a generous and light-filled living dining space. A large window allows natural light to pour in, while a feature fireplace and built-in storage add both character and practicality. The living space connects to a separate fitted kitchen, thoughtfully arranged with a range of units and ample additional storage.The accommodation continues with a spacious double bedroom and a well-appointed three-piece bathroom with shower over the bath. Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and useful additional storage, including a cupboard on the communal landing.

Externally, the property enjoys access to a delightful communal rear garden, laid mainly to lawn with a seating area and a variety of established planting, including multiple fruit trees, creating a peaceful and inviting outdoor space rarely found in such a central location. There is also a useful external store, ideal for bicycle storage. On-street permit parking is available nearby.

A wonderful home or investment opportunity in a truly desirable location, offering character, convenience and a strong sense of community. Viewing is highly recommended to be fully appreciated.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers, sellers, and giftors. These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed. If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks. We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf. They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely. There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser and per giftor for these checks.. This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances. Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from MoveButler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
