Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow in Heworth presents a great opportunity for those looking to acquire a property at a competitive price. The asking price of £240,000 is notably below the local average at £271/sqf compared to £352/sqf, making it an attractive option for buyers wanting to invest in a renovation project. While the property does require substantial modernisation—showing signs of wear and dated decor throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom—this presents a blank canvas for new owners to create their ideal home.

The corner plot offers excellent landscaping potential and ample space for outdoor entertaining, while the possibility of extension (subject to planning consents) further enhances its appeal. With a good location in a quieter neighbourhood and convenient access to York's city centre, this property offers both a solid investment opportunity and the potential to add significant value through thoughtful renovations. Overall, while the project scale is medium, the cheap asking price and the potential for enhancement make this listing worth considering for buyers willing to put in some work.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial modernisation potential throughout the property.

  • Versatile accommodation layout ideal for family living or home office.

Key risks
