A HOME perfectly suited to an introvert has gone on sale in a top York location.

Drone footage shows how the 'lonely' home has gone on sale - in the middle of a traffic island and walking distance from York city centre.

The video reveals the two-bed, £350,000 property is marooned in the middle of a triangular plot of land just off Tadcaster Road and close to one of the city’s most expensive streets, The Mount.

This slightly obscure spot means the future owners of the Grade-II listed house will enjoy a slice of undisturbed life without worrying about neighbours.

The isolated house, which is currently unoccupied, is a cruciform cottage constructed in the mid-1800s - with a floor plan in the shape of a cross.

The home, which used to be the former stock keeper's cottage for Knavesmire, has two bedrooms and still retains many of its original period features, but only has one bathroom.

Whilst it is in need of refurbishment to make the home shine, estate agent Ashtons says this will give the successful purchaser “the opportunity to create a most individual home".

The garden, which covers all four sides of the property, is currently somewhat overgrown but a tall hedge around the property muffles noise and helps give the home privacy. In addition to this, a brick-built well feature at the rear of the house adds to the charm of the historic address.

For those looking for their own private slice of paradise in one of York’s most premium spots, buyers are warned that the property is being sold with a user clause - meaning the new owners cannot rent it out as a holiday let and must have it as a primary or private address.

The cottage’s leasehold lasts 250 years, and it has a nominal ground rent of £1 per year.
