Fenwick Street, York, YO23 1JR

Perfectly suited to professionals, first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a stylish and low-maintenance home in a thriving part of York, this well-presented property combines character, space and location in one compelling package.

Tucked just off the ever-popular Bishopthorpe Road, this attractive freehold home offers light-filled interiors and a thoughtful layout across two floors. The ground floor features two separate reception rooms, offering flexibility for both living and dining. The front room, currently used as an office, is finished in calm, neutral tones with soft carpeting underfoot and a large window that lets in plenty of natural light. The second reception room sits between the front room and kitchen, currently arranged as a cosy lounge area but equally suitable as a dining room. A fitted alcove cupboard to the side of the chimney breast, storage under the stairs add even further practicality and handy uses to the home. 

The kitchen has been stylishly upgraded with shaker-style units, contrasting black handles, and wood-effect flooring for a contemporary finish. Integrated appliances such as washing machine, electric oven, microwave and ample worktop space create a clean and functional environment for everyday cooking. A window and glazed back door bring in natural light and open directly to the private courtyard, making the kitchen feel bright and connected to the outside. 

Upstairs, two double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. Each room is bright and well-proportioned, with the main bedroom offers space for wardrobes and storage. The first-floor bathroom is neatly fitted with a modern suite including a shower over bath and has further storage cupboard. 

Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard has been thoughtfully laid out with low-maintenance artificial grass and white painted brickwork, offering a smart and private outdoor retreat ideal for alfresco dining or relaxing. The space is easily accessed from the kitchen and has a rear gate that leads to the back lane, keeping things practical. To the front, the property benefits from permit parking. The combi boiler was fitted approx. 5 years ago, providing reassurance for those looking for a well-maintained home.

This location continues to attract buyers looking for a strong sense of community and easy access to York city centre. The independent shops, cafés and restaurants of ‘Bishy Road’ are just a short walk away, offering everything from artisan coffee to everyday essentials. The scenic riverside paths nearby connect to Rowntree Park and lead straight into the heart of York, ideal for walkers, joggers or cyclists. Families and professionals alike will appreciate the proximity to reputable schools, local amenities and the peaceful green spaces of the nearby Knavesmire and Racecourse. Transport links are excellent, with cycle routes, bus services and York Station all easily reached, making this a convenient base for commuters too.
