Stockton Lane, York, YO31 1DJ

Perfect for first time buyers, downsizers or investors, this duplex apartment offers bright rooms, open views and huge potential in one of York’s most loved areas. With walks on the stay, on your doorstep and the city within easy reach, it is ready for a new owner to update and make it their own.

Set over two floors, the layout gives a real sense of space and separation between living and sleeping areas. The main living room is a generous size, filled with natural light from wide windows that frame leafy views towards the Stray. There is ample space for both seating and dining, making it easy to relax or entertain. The room feels calm and airy, with a pleasant outlook that stops it from ever feeling enclosed. 

The kitchen sits separately from the living space, offering a practical layout with fitted units, worktops and room for essential appliances. While it would benefit from some updating and modernising, it is fully functional and provides a solid base for improvement. A handy WC adds everyday convenience, especially when guests are visiting.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is an impressive size, stretching the depth of the property and offering plenty of room and fitted wardrobes. A second bedroom on the first floor of this duplex provides flexible space for a guest room, study or hobby room, with fitted storage, ideal for those working from home. The bathroom is fitted with a walk in shower cubicle, wash basin and WC, again presenting a great opportunity for a new owner to refresh and add value over time. Useful storage cupboards on both levels help keep the home organised.

Outside, residents enjoy well maintained communal garden areas with mature planting and shrubs. These shared garden spaces are neatly kept and offer a pleasant spot to sit with a book or enjoy fresh air on warmer days. The wide green expanse of Monk Stray beyond gives the development an almost park like feel, which will appeal to anyone who enjoys walking, jogging or simply being outdoors. Although this is an apartment, the presence of garden areas and open views means you never feel boxed in. Covered allocated parking provides protection from the weather, and there is also a useful brick built store, ideal for bicycles or extra storage.

The apartment sits just off Stockton Lane in a highly sought after part of York, overlooking Monk Stray and close to Heworth Stray. For those who value outdoor space, the Stray offers acres of open green land right on the doorstep. York city centre is easily accessible by car, bus or even on foot for those who enjoy a longer walk. Local shops, cafes and everyday amenities are close by, with larger supermarkets and retail options within easy reach. Regular bus routes connect to the city centre and York railway station, making this an excellent choice for commuters. With its generous layout, open outlook and superb location, this duplex apartment is a rare chance to secure a home in a prime position and update it to suit your own style.
