College Mews, York, YO31 7SH

This home will suit buyers who want an easy city lifestyle with views or those seeking a smart base in York that feels peaceful yet well connected. It offers a sense of privacy, light and comfort that is hard to find so close to the centre, making it ideal for everyday living or a refined lock up and leave. Offered with no chain, early viewing is strongly advised to fully appreciate the setting and finish on offer.

Set on the top floor, the dual aspect layout allows light to move through main living space throughout the day, while the riverside outlook adds a quiet and restful feel. The open plan living and kitchen/dining area has been carefully renovated in 2024 and feels modern yet warm, with Karndean Canadian nude oak flooring running underfoot, tying the space together. The kitchen has been updated with Silestone Miami Vena Quartz worktops and matching upstands, giving a clean and timeless finish. A white composite sink sits neatly below the surface and is paired with a chrome Franke Lina pull out mixer tap, making the space practical as well as attractive. Integrated Hotpoint appliances include a fridge freezer, oven, electric hob, extractor, dishwasher and washing machine, allowing the room to remain uncluttered and easy to use. There is space to relax, dine and entertain without the area feeling crowded, and the outlook over the river adds a sense of openness that works well whether you are hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in.

Both bedrooms are doubles and continue the same upgraded flooring, creating a calm and consistent feel throughout the home. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and a window that has been enlarged to make the most of the view and natural light, helping the room feel airy and restful. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double and is currently used as an office, showing how well the space adapts to modern working needs while still being suitable for guests. The house bathroom consists of a full size bath, with handheld shower hose, toilet and pedestal sink, and half tile walls. The flooring in the bathroom has been upgraded to grey ceramic tiles, from the standard original flooring. 

The hallway links the rooms neatly and includes an intercom door entry system, adding peace of mind, with the same Karndean flooring continuing through this area. The home has electric heating which is centrally controlled, helping to keep the temperature comfortable year round. Built by Bellway Homes in 2009 and owned from new, the property has been well cared for and thoughtfully improved, with no onward chain to delay a purchase. One allocated parking space is included, adding convenience for daily life in the city. A rare and much valued feature is access to five private communal gardens, offering green space without the work of upkeep. One of these gardens is Edwardian in style and includes a brick built summer house, creating a special place to sit, read or meet neighbours. A pump has been installed and is maintained to help prevent flooding, showing careful management of the grounds and giving reassurance to residents.

The setting adds greatly to the appeal, especially for buyers who want city life balanced with quiet surroundings. The home sits within a Conservation Area and is around 0.4 miles from York city walls, making it easy to enjoy the historic centre, shops, cafes and cultural spots on foot. Accessed from Heworth Green along St John’s Walk, the approach feels tucked away and calm, yet daily amenities are close at hand. Local shops, services and green spaces support an easy routine, while riverside walks provide a welcome escape after a busy day. The nearby private communal garden areas give a strong sense of community and offer outdoor space that suits both relaxed evenings and social weekends. Transport links are convenient for travel across the city and beyond, making this a practical choice for those commuting or welcoming visitors. For professionals and downsizers alike, the location offers the chance to enjoy York’s rich history and lively centre while returning home to a quiet, light filled space with views that change with the seasons.
