This riverside home will appeal to growing families or professional couples looking for a rare opportunity to renovate and create their ideal home in one of York’s most desirable city-centre locations. Set in an elevated position with direct access to the River Ouse, the property combines strong potential, generous space and a superb setting — early viewing is strongly recommended. Set back from the river and enjoying an elevated outlook, this freehold home is arranged across two floors and filled with natural light. The entrance hall is carpeted and brightened by a side window, with stairs rising to the first floor. A cloakroom sits above, offering added convenience. To the front, the lounge features a wide bay window with uninterrupted views over the River Ouse. To the rear, the separate dining room includes a second bay window overlooking the garden, and both reception rooms offer flexible living space for families or those working from home. The kitchen is traditionally laid out and would benefit from modernisation. It includes a range of wall and base units, a built-in pantry cupboard, space for a cooker and washing machine, and a door leading out to the garden. A rear-facing window allows for views over the stepped garden and brings in natural light. The first floor landing includes loft access and a window to the side. There are two generous double bedrooms, both with bay windows and fitted storage. The front bedroom shares the same river outlook as the lounge, while the second looks out over the rear garden. The third bedroom is a good-sized single, suited to a nursery, home office or small child’s room, again with open views towards the river. The bathroom includes a w.c., bath with shower over, wash hand basin, towel radiator and a front-facing window, but would also benefit from updating to meet modern tastes. Externally, the home’s potential continues. The large rear garden is south-facing and enjoys a good level of privacy — a clear blank canvas for landscaping or extending, subject to the necessary permissions. A detached garage to the rear of the property offers space for a vehicle or further storage, and the original coal house provides additional outside storage. The property also benefits from off-street parking via a rear driveway with capacity for multiple vehicles. One of its most unique features is direct access from the front onto the towpath that runs along the River Ouse, offering beautiful walks straight into the heart of York. Almery Terrace is a highly regarded street just 0.3 miles from York’s historic Bar Walls, placing it within easy walking distance of the city centre via Dame Judi Dench Walk. The setting offers a peaceful, almost rural feel while still enjoying full access to the shops, restaurants, and attractions York is known for. Families will find a number of highly regarded schools nearby, and the proximity to York Station makes commuting to Leeds, London and other key destinations straightforward. The riverside location, established neighbourhood and surrounding green spaces make this a fantastic choice for those wanting a central address with the scope to personalise and add long-term value.  MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS; By law, we are required to conduct anti money laundering checks on all intending sellers and purchasers and take this responsibility very seriously.
