Prices Lane, York, YO23 1AL

A characterful Victorian terraced house enjoying views towards York’s historic city walls. The property has undergone some updating while retaining a wealth of original features and now requires a programme of further improvement, offering an exciting opportunity for new owners to bring it back to its full potential.

An enclosed forecourt leads to the entrance, where a long hallway has stairs rising to the first floor and a door opening into the front living room. A large timber-framed bay window fills the room with natural light and provides views towards the city walls, while a brick fireplace with an open-fire recess and raised quarry-tiled hearth forms an attractive focal point.

Double timber doors open into the second reception room, which provides ample space for dining. One of the property’s most distinctive original features is the black-leaded range, complete with a central fire basket, side oven and hotplate. Areas of exposed brickwork add further character, alongside an original wall cupboard and built-in side seat. Two small timber-framed openings with coloured glass provide additional period detail, while modern French doors lead directly into the courtyard.

A further door opens into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and provides space for a freestanding electric cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a small lobby and utility area, which leads to the ground-floor bathroom, fitted with a white suite and a shower with screen over the bath.

To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a further single bedroom, all accessed from a generous landing. The front bedroom enjoys views across the grassy slopes towards the city walls, while the second double bedroom features an original cast-iron fireplace. The property also offers potential for a loft conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. Further original details found throughout the house include timber doors, floorboards and sash windows.

Externally, the property benefits from a good-sized enclosed courtyard, providing a private space for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Offer Procedure - Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

Anti Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
