Perfect for downsizers, professional couples, or frequent travellers seeking space without the upkeep, this spacious period apartment offers grand interiors, flexible living and a low-maintenance lifestyle. With no onward chain, viewing is essential to truly appreciate what’s on offer here.

Set within a handsome period building just a short walk from York city centre and the wide green spaces of the Knavesmire & York Racecourse, this sizeable apartment offers a rare balance of elegance, practicality, and location. High ceilings and sash windows throughout flood the home with natural light and a sense of space, while the layout offers flexibility for modern living. The central living area is a generously sized sitting room with ample space for dining and entertaining. A period fireplace provides a traditional focal point and the tall window frames views over the open space to the front, drawing in light throughout the day. The kitchen is both modern and functional, with plenty of worktop space, fitted units, and space for casual dining on a breakfast bar overlooking the front of the property.

Accommodation includes three sizable double bedrooms and a further room that can serve either as a fourth bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office. Each of the main bedrooms is well-proportioned, retaining character features while offering enough space for wardrobes and furnishings. With three bathrooms plus an additional W/C, the home offers flexibility for visiting guests or families with older children. All rooms are ready to move straight in or personalise to taste.

While there is no private garden, the apartment is within easy reach of the Knavesmire - ideal for walking, running or simply relaxing outdoors, especially appealing for downsizers who still want easy access to green space without garden upkeep. With no onward chain and part of a well-maintained period conversion, this property is a strong option for those looking for an ideal pied-à-terre. There is also potential to explore private parking options or permits, with nearby streets offering solutions for city-centre living.

York offers everything you could need within walking distance, making this a particularly attractive location for anyone looking to live without dependence on a car. For commuters, the city’s main rail station offers regular services to London, Leeds and Edinburgh. The local area is rich in amenities — from independent cafes and restaurants to everyday shops and services. The Knavesmire & York Racecourse itself is a major draw, not just for its open space but also for the events and atmosphere it brings during race season. Local schools include well-regarded primary and secondary options, ideal for buyers looking to accommodate family visits or longer-term guests. The blend of historic charm, vibrant cultural life and green space right on the doorstep gives this property wide appeal for buyers seeking a quality home in one of the UK’s most desirable small cities.
