Description

This extended four-bedroom semi-detached property presents a rare opportunity, coming to the market for the first time in seven decades. With the advantage of no onward chain, this home requires comprehensive modernization but offers substantial potential for transformation in a desirable location just a short distance from the city centre. The sizable entrance hall leads to multiple living spaces, including a front lounge and rear dining room, both featuring original fireplaces that provide character. The kitchen is equipped with basic amenities and connects to an oversized garage along with access to a generous rear garden. Upstairs, the first floor accommodates three well-sized double bedrooms—one retaining its original fireplace—alongside a single bedroom and a family bathroom. Heating is currently provided by an oil central heating system, while double-glazed windows enhance energy efficiency. Externally, the property boasts a lawned garden at the front with mature borders and off-street parking leading to the garage, while the tranquil south-east facing rear garden offers privacy and ample space for outdoor activities. Located on Irwin Avenue, this home is positioned close to Heworth Green's vibrant mix of local shops and amenities. Cultural attractions are easily accessible within walking distance, and York railway station provides convenient mainline travel options. This property represents an excellent investment opportunity for those willing to undertake renovations in the thriving York area.
