Perfect for a first time buyer or downsizers who want space, light and open views, this smart home offers modern living in a peaceful setting close to the heart of the city. Ready to move straight into and set in a well kept development, it provides comfortable accommodation arranged over two levels with generous rooms and a bright feel throughout.

Accessed through a secure communal entrance shared with only a small number of neighbours, the property feels calm and private from the moment you step inside. A welcoming hallway gives space to hang coats and store shoes before leading through to the main living area. The reception room sits on the lower level and enjoys windows to two sides, allowing natural light to pour in across the day. There is ample room here for a large sofa, chairs, a dining table and additional furniture, making it easy to relax, work from home or host friends. The open outlook creates a lovely sense of space and brings the outside in.

The kitchen is set neatly within this living space yet remains clearly defined. Fitted with contemporary navy wall and base units, it offers plenty of storage and good worktop space for food preparation. Modern surfaces and simple lines give it a clean finish, while practical layout ensures everything is within easy reach. There is space for essential appliances and room to cook comfortably without feeling cramped. Whether preparing a quick breakfast or a meal for guests, it works well for everyday life.

Also on this lower level is one of the double bedrooms. This room is well proportioned and benefits from built in storage, helping to keep the space tidy and uncluttered. It can serve as a comfortable guest room, a home office, or a main bedroom depending on your needs. The separate W.C. on this floor is a useful feature, especially when entertaining, and adds extra convenience to the layout.

Stairs rise to the upper level where the principal bedroom is located. This is an impressive space with a particularly generous feel. Large windows frame open views across Monk Stray, creating a calm backdrop and allowing plenty of daylight to flood the room. There is ample space for a large bed along with wardrobes and additional furniture without it ever feeling tight. Waking up to green views adds something special to daily life and gives the room a peaceful atmosphere.

The main bathroom is also found on this level and is fitted with a modern three piece suite. Clean lines and neutral finishes create a bright and simple space that is easy to maintain. A deep storage cupboard from the landing provides further practical space for household items, suitcases or cleaning equipment, helping to keep the rest of the home free from clutter.

Outside, residents have access to well maintained communal garden areas with mature planting and shrubs. These shared spaces are neatly kept and offer a pleasant setting to sit with a book or enjoy fresh air on warmer days. The open green expanse beyond adds to the feeling of space and gives the development an almost park like setting, something that will appeal strongly to those who enjoy walking, jogging or simply being outdoors. While this is an apartment, the presence of a garden area and wide open views means you do not feel boxed in.

The property also benefits from covered allocated parking, giving peace of mind and protection from the weather. In addition, there is a useful brick built store, ideal for bicycles or extra storage. There has also been the recent addition of new electric heating throughout - for a buyer taking their first step onto the property ladder, these practical touches make daily living easier and more secure.

The apartment sits just off Stockton Lane in a highly sought after part of York, overlooking Monk Stray and within easy reach of Heworth Stray. For those who enjoy walking, running or simply spending time outdoors, the Stray offers wide open green space right on the doorstep. York city centre is easily accessible, whether by car, bus or even on foot for those who enjoy a longer stroll. The area is served by a range of local shops, cafes and everyday amenities, while larger supermarkets and retail options are also close by. Regular bus routes connect to the city centre and York railway station, making it ideal for commuters. With its open views, practical layout and excellent location close to green space and the heart of the city, this apartment is a smart choice for buyers seeking comfort, convenience and a touch of York’s character.
