Description
The property’s location is a key feature, nestled in a vibrant community with excellent access to York City Centre and the train station – both just a short walk away down Bootham, making commuting or enjoying the city’s amenities effortless.
Entering the property through the front door, you are welcomed into a hallway offering space for coats and shoes. A door leads into the tastefully decorated living room, which is enhanced by a beautiful log effect gas fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. There is also handy under-stair storage. The heart of the home is the heavily extended kitchen diner, which has a charming cottage feel with cream units, oak effect worktops, and an abundance of storage. This sociable space is perfect for family gatherings or entertaining friends, with a door leading to the original outside toilet, now integrated into the main home, as well as access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises two generously sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom, overlooking the front of the property, is L-shaped and offers clever additional space currently used for storing clothes, though this could easily be transformed into a dressing area or additional storage. The bathroom is fitted with a bath, electric shower over, toilet, WC, and a radiator, providing all the essentials.
The rear garden is a real treat, offering a decked area, a lawned section, and borders ready for planting – a perfect outdoor space for relaxation or gardening enthusiasts.
This property is offered with no onward chain, making it an ideal choice for those looking to move quickly. With its versatile layout, charming features, and superb location, this home is a must-see.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
