There is a private courtyard outside the property, which is currently paved but could be transformed into a garden space or used for additional storage.
The property is located just outside the historic city walls of York, providing easy access to many amenities and attractions, including York Minster, the Shambles, and the Jorvik Viking Centre.
Auction manager Romilly Woodman-Wilcock said: "Positioned just outside York’s historic city walls, this Grade II listed townhouse offers spacious accommodation arranged over several floors.

"The property needs improvement throughout, giving a buyer the opportunity to update and personalise it.
"Subject to the necessary permissions, there may also be potential to explore alternative uses, such as student accommodation or a holiday let."
The University of York is approximately a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute drive away, with developers saying the house would be 'ideal for conversion into student accommodation' - with the right permissions.
