Mount Vale, York

This distinctive Georgian Grade II listed detached cruciform cottage, dating back to the mid-1800s, offers a remarkable renovation opportunity. Once the stock keeper’s residence for York Knavesmire, this property is set on an expansive plot with gardens surrounding it on all four sides. Its charming gabled architecture and preserved historical features add unique character that could be further enhanced through thoughtful modernization. The location provides a rare combination of serene outdoor views and immediate access to the vibrant city center of York. The rear and side aspects of the property open up to the picturesque expanses of York Knavesmire, offering an attractive outlook that is hard to find so close to urban amenities. While the cottage is in need of a comprehensive refurbishment, this presents a blank canvas for those looking to create a personalized home that retains its historical charm. It’s important to note that the property comes with a user clause, permitting occupancy only as a private main residence and not for holiday rentals. Offered as leasehold with 250 years remaining and nominal ground rent, this property not only promises potential for residential enjoyment but also represents an intriguing investment in a sought-after area poised for appreciation.
