Grade II listed property in York could be an owner-occupier’s new project or a stunning holiday or student let.
Set to go to auction on Tuesday 1st September is 56 Monkgate, a multi-level townhouse sitting just outside York’s historic city walls. For a guide price of £400,000 (plus fees), you will get the opportunity to renovate this fabulous home and help it realise its full potential.
Grade II listed property
56 Monkgate is a stunning Grade II listed townhouse built around 1840. With five floors of spacious accommodation, including a cellar, this fantastic home has plenty of versatile space for a skilled renovator to play with.
The main family rooms are found on the ground floor. The front-facing living room is filled with natural light from a large window and possesses real presence thanks to its high ceilings and fireplace. To the rear of the property is the kitchen, which is an excellent size for catering for a large family.
The lower ground floor can be accessed via stairs at the end of the hallway. This space was formerly used as a bedroom, which benefits from access to its own bathroom. Despite being a cellar, plenty of light is provided by a window that overlooks the front of the property.
Floors one and two share the same layout with two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The top level hosts the final sixth bedroom, along with a large space that could be used as an office or a children’s playroom.
Outside the property is a private courtyard. Currently paved, this could be used to house sheds for additional storage or be transformed into a miniature oasis for an owner-occupier to enjoy.

56 Monkgate’s placement close to the historic heart of York gives it enviable access to its many amenities and attractions. Within the walls are tourist hotspots such as York Minster, the Shambles and the Jorvik Viking Centre. Independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants are also easily found within walking distance.
The property is ideally situated for access to the University of York too, which is around a 30-minute walk away or a 10-minute drive. This could make the house ideal for conversion into student accommodation, provided the right permissions are approved.
Commenting on the property, 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.”
