About this home

RL0918 - Apartment 10 at Foss Place is an immaculate first-floor apartment offering modern, low-maintenance living within just a few minutes of York city centre. Positioned within a well-kept development on Foss Islands Road, the apartment benefits from tidy communal areas and lift access to the first floor — particularly useful when returning home with the weekly shop. The private entrance opens into a practical hallway with useful built-in storage. From here, the accommodation flows into a bright and sociable open-plan kitchen and living room, providing plenty of space to relax, entertain or work from home. The kitchen has been upgraded over the years and now offers a sleek, modern finish, with integrated appliances, generous storage and a breakfast bar overlooking the living area. There is even a view towards York Minster, providing a welcome reminder of just how close the apartment is to the heart of the city. The double bedroom is generously proportioned, beautifully presented and offers ample space for freestanding furniture without feeling restricted. Completing the internal accommodation is a smart modern shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle, wash basin, WC and heated towel radiator. The development also provides useful communal facilities, including a bicycle store and well-maintained bin stores. One of the apartment’s most valuable features is its allocated parking space — a genuine rarity this close to York city centre. For an owner who does not require parking, there may also be potential to rent the space separately and generate additional income, subject to the terms of the lease and any relevant management regulations. Foss Place is positioned only a short walk from York’s historic city walls, placing its shops, cafés, restaurants, attractions and employment opportunities within easy reach. Immaculately presented and ready to move straight into, this appealing apartment could make an excellent first home, convenient York base or investment opportunity. Viewing is highly recommended.
