Confidence: MEDIUM

This traditional two-bedroom terraced house offers a promising project in a quiet residential area with convenient access to York city centre and local amenities. With an asking price of £245,000, it sits slightly below the local average at £337/sqf, making it an attractive option for those looking to add value through renovation. While the property shows some signs of general wear and will require cosmetic updates, it presents a blank canvas for a buyer to put their own stamp on it.

The interior includes functional living spaces and two double bedrooms that, while dated, provide a solid foundation for improvement. The kitchen is fitted but may need updates to match modern standards. Additionally, the rear courtyard holds potential for an appealing outdoor space. Although the all-in costs of £280,000 appear tight against local benchmarks, the absence of a chain simplifies the purchasing process, making it an appealing prospect for those willing to undertake a light refurbishment.

Key opportunities

  • Potential to enhance the courtyard garden for outdoor enjoyment.
  • Opportunity to modernize the kitchen and living spaces for improved functionality.
  • Scope to refresh the interior aesthetics and increase overall property value.
