St Oswalds Road, York, YO10 4QE

A rare opportunity to acquire a private riverside mooring in an attractive and secluded position on the River Ouse, within the sought-after Fulford area of York. The property has approximately 43 ft of river frontage and offers an interesting opportunity for boating enthusiasts or investors seeking a mooring within easy reach of York city centre.

The land is presently slightly overgrown and would benefit from some clearance and general improvement. The land adjoining the mooring also offers useful space for parking several vehicles and ancillary use.  The current vendor accesses the site when needed with a Transit-size tipper truck.

An existing ramp constructed principally from scaffolding provides access from the land down to a pontoon on the river. This has evidently not been used for some time, and its condition and safety have not been assessed. Prospective purchasers should therefore not use the ramp when inspecting the property and should satisfy themselves regarding any works required to provide safe access to the riverside.

The seller has informed us that the mooring has previously accommodated multiple vessels, with up to four boats potentially being accommodated depending on their size. We are also advised that moorings in this location can produce rents in the region of £4,000 per annum per mooring, although again, we expect this will depend on the size of the vessel.  Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding permitted mooring arrangements and potential rental income.

The property provides an unusual opportunity to acquire and improve a scarce riverside asset in an attractive setting close to the historic City of York.

Location

The mooring is situated off St Oswald's Road in Fulford, approximately two miles south of York city centre.

Access is via a shared private track which passes the University of York Boat Club and continues along the eastern bank of the River Ouse, serving a small number of established private moorings.

Despite its convenient position close to the city, the setting has a distinctly rural character, with open countryside and mature trees lining this attractive stretch of the river.

Fulford is one of York's most sought-after residential areas and provides a good range of local amenities, with York city centre readily accessible by road, bicycle and public transport. The location also provides convenient access to the A19 and York's wider road network.
