Perfect for first-time buyers or those seeking a low-maintenance home in a quiet yet well-connected spot, this bright and well-presented apartment offers a practical layout, private outlook and allocated parking.
Set within a peaceful residential development in the sought-after area of Acomb, this apartment sits on the first floor of a purpose-built block and benefits from a secure communal entrance. Once inside, a central hallway leads through to a bright and generously sized living room which offers ample space for both seating and dining, and enjoys a pleasant view over a neighbouring playing field. The open layout creates a sociable feel, with easy access to the kitchen just off the lounge. The kitchen includes a good range of base and wall units for storage, as well as space for appliances, making it a practical and functional space for everyday living. There are also great size storage cupboards in the hallway, providing practical space for coats, shoes and household cleaning items.
The property continues with two well-sized bedrooms, both offering plenty of natural light. The main bedroom could comfortably accommodate a double bed and additional furnishings, while the second bedroom would make a perfect guest room, study or child’s bedroom depending on individual needs. Completing the internal accommodation is a three-piece bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin, all neatly finished in a clean, modern style.
Outside, the apartment benefits from an allocated parking space, along with secure bike and bin storage areas for added convenience. With its quiet setting backing onto green space, the apartment also enjoys a degree of privacy that will appeal to those looking for a peaceful place to call home. Ideal for a single occupant, couple or young family taking their first step onto the property ladder, the home offers a well-balanced layout and low-maintenance living in a highly accessible area.
Acomb itself is a well-established and vibrant part of York, popular with both homeowners and renters due to its range of amenities and excellent transport links. The property is just a short stroll from Beckfield Lane, which offers direct bus routes into York city centre and easy access to the ring road for commuters. There are also several supermarkets, cafes, pubs and independent shops nearby, as well as green spaces and playing fields ideal for outdoor activities. Families will benefit from nearby schools catering to all age groups, while the wider area offers a great balance of community feel and city convenience, making it a practical and appealing location for everyday life.
