We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set within a characterful period building in the heart of York city centre, this newly converted duplex apartment offers stylish and flexible accommodation across the second and third floors, finished to a high standard throughout.
Blending exposed period features with a contemporary open plan layout, the property is ideally suited to both owner occupiers and investors alike.
Malt Shovel Court is a quiet cul de sac, set back through an archway from the vibrant and bustling Walmgate, offering a peaceful setting just moments from the city’s shops, restaurants and historic landmarks.
Accessed via its own private front door, an entrance staircase leads up to a striking loft style living space.
The open plan living dining kitchen is a real focal point of the home, featuring exposed beams and a thoughtfully designed modern kitchen with handleless light grey units, integrated appliances and a central breakfast bar with inset sink.
Wood effect wall units add warmth and character, while a bay window seat provides a charming spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The apartment offers two well proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a stylish ensuite shower room.
A separate contemporary family bathroom serves the second bedroom.
Unusually for a city centre apartment, the lease allows for holiday and short term letting with no restrictions, presenting a rare and highly flexible opportunity with strong investment potential.
