1 bedroom apartment to rent

A one bedroom self-contained apartment situated within a handsome Victorian converted townhouse, available now on a 6-month short term basis.

Property Description - This charming ground floor apartment is accessed via the communal staired entranceway leading to the front door of the building. There is a separate living-area with lovely period windows; a kitchenette with modern fitted units and oven, hob, extractor, washing machine, and undercounter fridge; a bedroom with double-bed and a bathroom with shower, basin and lavatory.

Originally built in 1882-3, Wenlock Terrace comprises a series of twelve buildings that, at five-storeys high, are the tallest terraced properties in the city. Once the most prestigious addresses in the city, these properties were constructed predominantly for housing high-ranking military personnel for the barracks nearby and have since been converted into self-contained apartments.

The property is within close proximity to local supermarkets, coffee shops and other handy amenities in the Fulford area, as well as being walking-distance to the nearby City centre via the lovely New Walk by the river. There is on-street permit parking and ample outdoor space for bike storage in the communal area to the rear of the building.

Please note that this property is suitable for single occupants only.

Holding Fees - Upon successful application, we will politely request a holding deposit of £150. A Holding Deposit is taken to secure a property off the market whilst an application is considered and references and credit checks are processed. It is our practice to refund the holding deposit by deducting it from the first payment of rent, unless applicants require it to be refunded separately.

A holding deposit will not be refunded if the tenancy is not taken up for any of the following reasons:-

Any reference or credit check is not satisfactory; or
Any information supplied on the application form is untrue, inaccurate or misleading; or
The applicant changes their mind and decides not to take the tenancy applied for or delays in doing so; or
Any reference has not been received within 14 days of request and the property is remarketed; or
If an applicant does not have the right to rent the property pursuant to the Immigration Act 2014 and that was not mentioned in their application form.
