Gerard Avenue, York

This is a rare chance to purchase a versatile mixed-use property in a popular suburb of York. 8 Gerard Avenue combines a prominent ground floor retail unit with a spacious three-bedroom semi-detached house, both with independent access.

The home has been thoughtfully extended to the side and rear to provide a living room, open plan kitchen-diner, utility room and ground floor shower room, complemented by a stylish, low-maintenance courtyard garden.

Perfect for those seeking a live/work opportunity, an investment or simply a well-positioned family home, this property offers flexibility, convenience and strong long-term appeal.

Description - 8 Gerard Avenue presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property that blends retail space with comfortable family living. The ground floor shop fronts directly onto Gerard Avenue, offering excellent visibility and a flexible space for a wide variety of businesses. Behind and alongside sits a well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached house that has been enhanced by single-storey extension.

The house is arranged to suit modern living, with an open plan kitchen-dining room, living room, utility and downstairs shower-room, in addition to three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. Outside, the rear courtyard-style garden has been designed for ease of maintenance while providing a private space for relaxing or entertaining.

With separate access to the shop and house, the property lends itself to a range of uses, from owner occupation with an adjoining business, a straightforward investment or family home (subject to the necessary consents).
