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
Tucked away on a quiet residential cul-de-sac just off Water End, this attractive three-bedroom period semi-detached home occupies a wonderful plot and offers excellent potential to create a superb long-term family home.
Situated on a charming tree-lined road, often overlooked due to its discreet position beyond Westminster Road, the property enjoys easy access to picturesque riverside walks leading into York City Centre and beyond.
Having been in the same ownership for many years, the house retains a wealth of original period features and presents exciting scope for further development or extension, subject to the necessary consents.
Internally, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to two generous reception rooms, both benefiting from ornate fireplaces, picture rails, and decorative coving that enhance the character of the home.
The rear reception room opens into a beautiful and light-filled conservatory, enjoying delightful views over the garden and creating a wonderful additional living space.
To the rear of the property is a spacious kitchen, which has been slightly extended to provide ample room for a range of units, worktop space, and everyday dining.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles with built-in storage, together with a generous single bedroom.
Completing the internal accommodation is a shower room and a separate WC.
Externally, the property boasts a stunning south-westerly facing rear garden of impressive size, featuring extensive lawned areas, mature planting, and established borders that provide a high degree of privacy.
To the front is a neat garden and driveway parking leading to a single garage.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in one of York’s most desirable residential locations. Early viewing is highly recommended.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers, sellers, and giftors.
These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed.
If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks.
We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf.
They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely.
There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser and per giftor for these checks..
This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from MoveButler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
