Linley & Simpson are pleased to market this duplex apartment with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms in a quiet gated converted Victorian leather tannery set back from Lawrence Street and offered with no forward chain and vacant possession from the 15th September 2023.

Offering fabulous views of York city centre and located a stone's throw from the City Walls and fashionable Walmgate and Fossgate, this 850 square foot apartment has recently been extensively refurbished - it has been repainted throughout with eco-friendly paint from Little Knights, carpeted throughout the upstairs and stairwell, retiled in both bathrooms and has had new wood style flooring recently installed on the lower floor - and is in tip top condition.

The property would be suitable for first-time buyers, young professionals or anyone wishing to live near York's historic city centre. Equally, it has considerable letting potential - currently tenanted until 15th September 2023, it currently commands a rental income of £1,200 per calendar month - and would be a great option for an investor or a home owner.

The lower floor of this generously proportioned duplex features a very light and airy open-plan kitchen and living room with high ceilings and an original wood beam running across the ceiling. Recently installed within the kitchen are a state-of-the-art oven and eco-efficient washer-dryer while the kitchen area also benefits from fridge-freezer and a Smeg hob. All appliances are offered with the property. The lower floor of this apartment also includes a bathroom with bath, as well as a room with the hot water tank that doubles up as additional storage space. Upstairs, in the eaves of the building and featuring a large quantity of original wood beams evoking the property's past as a nineteenth century leather tannery, there are two double bedrooms. Both bedrooms benefit from skylights - one of which offers views of the City Walls and York Minster - and the main bedroom attaches to an ensuite with shower. The upstairs is very airy in summer when the skylights - which are situated directly across from each other - and both bedroom doors are open as it creates a wind tunnel; equally, it is very cosy in winter due to being well insulated. The upstairs bedrooms have also recently been refurbished, including repainting and carpeting, and consequently are in excellent condition. The apartment also boasts a heating system with cost-effective, thermostat-controlled electric radiators.

The property comes with a gated parking space located in the forecourt to the building. A gated communal garden can be found next to the parking spaces. Communal waste and recycling bins are also located in the gated area.

The local area is among York's most desirable. Walmgate, just beyond the City Walls, is almost on the property's doorstep, and boasts, along with adjacent Fossgate, many of York's most highly regarded restaurants, bars and shops; there is also a Waitrose within minutes' walk of the property. Well regarded schools may be found nearby including Fishergate primary school, which is rated Good by Ofsted, and Fulford secondary school, which is rated Outstanding.

Annual charges include service charges which are currently around £1,700 per year and ground rent which is £150 per year and contains no doubling provision. There are 979 years left on the lease which is 999 years from the original date 1/9/2002.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a gated duplex apartment that has both historic features throughout and a modern, recently renovated feel, as well as being incredibly well located for York's top sights and amenities.
