A unique chance is being offered to live in a “distinguished” York home – for £325,000.

An apartment is for sale in Aldersyde House, a late 19th century merchant's house in mature grounds just off Tadcaster Road.

The two-bedroom property is for sale after the Grade II-listed building was converted into apartments in 2006.

Architect A J Penty originally designed the house for the wealthy miller Ernest Leetham.

The flat for sale has been recently redecorated by the current owner, meaning it is ready to move into, according to Ashtons which is marketing the property.

An Ashtons spokesperson said it is a “beautiful apartment in a convenient position close to the city centre”.

Access to the flat is via a secure communal door into a panelled hallway and staircase.

Inside the apartment, a hallway leads to the living/dining room where large rear windows and a curved ceiling add light and character.

A doorway leads to the fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and garden views.

The main bedroom has a reading alcove, two double wardrobes, and a part-panelled feature wall.

Another bedroom is suited to a guest or child’s room, Ashtons said.

The home has a modern bathroom with a panelled bath and separate shower.

Outside are communal lawns, shrub beds, a terrace, and an orangery with a lily pond await.

There is also a private garage, parking space, and shared cycle store.

The flat is a leasehold property with 107 years remaining on the lease.

It comes with a £2,340 annual service charge, according to the listing.
