Perfect for professionals or downsizers who want calm living close to the heart of York, this light filled home offers privacy, views and easy city access within a peaceful setting. Offered with no onward chain, homes like this rarely come along. Ideal for buyers seeking a quiet yet central lifestyle, this home offers a rare sense of space and outlook so close to the city. Set on the top floor, it feels private and calm, with light flowing in from three sides and open views across well kept communal Edwardian garden grounds and the river beyond. The main living space is open plan with triple aspect and has been carefully updated to suit modern life. The beautiful shaker style Wren kitchen was renewed in 2023 and sits neatly within the room, making it a natural place to cook, eat and relax. Stunning quartz worktops and matching splashbacks give a clean finish, while the white composite sink with brushed brass tap adds warmth and character. Built in high end appliances keep the space clear and practical, including Bosch appliances: induction hob, oven, fridge freezer and slimline dishwasher, along with a built in Hoover washing machine, all chosen for reliability. Under unit lighting and upgraded brushed brass sockets elevate the space and creates a fresh, bright feel. There is space for a dining table and chairs, to clearly define the areas between dining and the living area.

In warmer months, the view stretches across the established gardens and towards York Minster, a gentle reminder of how close the city centre really is. The electric heating is individually controlled, allowing each room to be set to suit personal comfort, which works well for those who may be out during the day. Both bedrooms are larger than average, offering flexibility for working from home or welcoming guests. The main bedroom is a calm retreat with space for a king size bed. wardrobes and storage. The second bedroom is also generous double and could suit a home office, guest room or hobby space, whilst still being able to fit wardrobes comfortably. The bathroom was updated in 2020 and feels more like a hotel suite than a standard city home. A freestanding bath sits alongside a walk in double rainwater shower with a separate hose, giving choice for busy mornings or slow evenings. The wall mounted sink unit and toilet keep the space feeling open, while the oak sill and built in shelving add a natural touch. Electric underfloor heating, a chrome towel rail and dimmable lighting make this a warm and relaxing room all year round. Outside, the communal garden areas are a real highlight. Few city centre homes enjoy this level of shared green space, and the grounds are open, well cared for and rarely overlooked. A maintained pump system is in place to manage drainage, offering peace of mind. The property also benefits from an allocated parking space within a small private car park, and access is via a private road on Heworth Croft, just off Heworth Green, with established rights, adding to the sense of seclusion.
