If you’ve been waiting for a project with promise, 86 Thief Lane could be the one. Set in one of York’s most convenient locations — within easy reach of the city centre, University of York and excellent local amenities — this property offers space, flexibility and endless scope to transform into a stunning family home. We've included one AI- generated image to help you imagine how the kitchen could look once opened up and modernised- the potential is fantastic. Currently arranged over two floors, the accommodation includes a living room and second reception room, both well-proportioned and light-filled. The layout lends itself beautifully to reconfiguration — opening up the kitchen and reception rooms could create the large open-plan kitchen/family space that so many buyers seek, flowing through the conservatory and out to the generous rear garden. Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms and a fifth smaller room, ideal as a nursery, home office or potential shower room. A large family bathroom completes this floor. Every room benefits from large windows, giving the house a bright and uplifting feel. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, it’s an ideal setting for family life. The rear garden is a real highlight — spacious, private and filled with potential for landscaping, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. There’s driveway parking for two cars, and at the end of the garden sits a detached studio — a substantial bonus space that’s perfect for a home office, creative studio, teen hangout or even a self-contained guest suite. This is a home with great bones, generous proportions and huge potential to add value. Move in and update gradually, or roll up your sleeves and create something truly special — either way, opportunities like this in York don’t come up often.
