Description
Positioned within a striking period building at the foot of Scarcroft Hill, this distinctive apartment offers a rare opportunity to combine character, generous space, and modern comfort — all in one of York’s most vibrant and sought-after locations.
Step inside and you’ll find light-filled, well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings and charming features throughout. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a fabulous dining area, complete with a full wall of bespoke shelving and a large window overlooking the peaceful Scarcroft allotments — giving the feeling of countryside living in the heart of the city.
The stylish bay-fronted living room is a standout feature: double aspect, bathed in natural light, and offering elevated views across York Croquet Club and the handsome buildings of Scarcroft Hill.
The separate kitchen is thoughtfully designed with sleek granite worktops, ample storage, and high-quality Miele appliances.
The principal bedroom is a calming retreat with integrated storage and a large sash window. A spacious walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage and also offers the potential to convert into an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom, currently used as a guest room or home office, features a neutral palette and built-in wardrobes.
The modern shower room includes a walk-in enclosure, heated towel rail, and contemporary fittings.
Outside, the property benefits from secure gated parking, private storage outbuildings, and a prime position for enjoying the best of local life — from Saturday morning coffee on Bishopthorpe Road to peaceful walks on the Knavesmire or along the River Ouse.
Whether you're searching for a stylish city home, a weekend base in York, or a smart investment with future potential, this apartment ticks every box.
