Town House for sale

This is an interesting property, in an excellent location, which lends itself to a number of options. Currently 3 apartments, it could be retained as such either for resale or to let. The close proximity to all the facilities of the city centre makes this a popular location for long term or holiday lettings. Over recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of people wanting spacious family homes within the City itself. The property would readily convert back to it’s original arrangement as 2 houses. A planning application has been submitted to allow such a change. This is an attractive Georgian building which would appear to have been originally built as 3 separate houses. The property being offered comprises two of these houses. At the present time the property is divided horizontally to provide three spacious apartments. Two of these were refurbished relatively recently. The upper floors, in particular has a fantastic view of York Minster over the roofs of Aldwark.

LOCATION
York has a well deserved reputation as a superb place to live. The historic built environment, first class schools and universities, excellent shops, sophisticated recreational and cultural opportunities all contribute to the city’s popularity. Fast rail links to London and Edinburgh and easy access to the major West Riding cities are added advantages. Within the city certain areas stand out for having particular interest. The ancient quarter of Aldwark is one such part. Despite close proximity to the business and retail heart of the city it has a unique residential character with an interesting mix of some of the city’s finest period houses, historic churches, livery halls and modern housing which has been sympathetically designed to complement this environment. The property is on the corner of St Saviourgate and Spen Lane hence the different addresses.
