CHARLOTTE PERCIVAL finds some of the best two-bedroom homes in York, and North and East Yorkshire.

GOOD things come in small packages, so the saying goes, and that is certainly true of two-bedroom homes.

First up this week, Otisdale has a mid-terrace house in Kensington Street, in the South Bank area of York.

At £145,000, this home also has the benefit of having no onward chain.

Inside, there is a lounge with a pine fire surround, a kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, both with fireplaces.

Outside, there is an enclosed yard with gate access to the rear.

Otisdale also has a fully-modernised semi-detached in Chapelfields Road, Acomb.

It includes an entrance hall, lounge/diner with a living flame gas fire, a dining area, a kitchen with modern units in white and an integrated oven, a utility/breakfast room and a bathroom.

There is a lawn to the front and a flagged patio and pebbled garden to the rear.

It is priced at £138,995.

Next, Redmove has an inner terraced house in Orchard Cottages, Dunnington.

Priced at £199,950, it enjoys a cul-de-sac location and has been maintained to an excellent standard with quality décor.

There is an entrance hall, a sitting room with an attractive polished wooden fire surround, a modern fitted kitchen with base and wall units and a breakfast bar, a conservatory with French doors to the garden and a modern bathroom.

The master bedroom has a recessed double robe which is currently used as an office area, while the second bedroom has fitted wardrobes.

Outside, there is an open plan front garden and a patio area, a pond, water feature and shrubs to the rear. There is also a garage.

Redmove also has a semi-detached bungalow in Fairfax, Stamford Bridge.

It has been brought up to modern standards by the owners, and includes a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, neutral décor to the living rooms, gas central heating and double glazing.

There is also a garage and gardens to the front and rear.

It is priced at £174,950.

Meanwhile, Chris Clubley & Co has a cottage conversion of a former Methodist church in Church Lane, Pocklington, for £139,950.

This unique home has been tastefully converted to incorporate original features and includes a sitting room with a fitted fireplace and exposed beamed ceiling, a dining kitchen with units, an oven and a hob, a bathroom with a white suite and two bedrooms.

Outside, there is a small forecourt and communal parking.

Alternatively, Quantum has a stylish Duplex city centre apartment in Heron Court, Lawrence Street, York.

This is one of only two of its kind on the site, and is priced at £149,950.

Inside, there is an open-plan lounge and dining area which leads to a modern kitchen, double doors to a Juliet balcony and a separate cloakroom.

The bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and are on the first floor, and there is a stylish bathroom too. Private allocated parking is included.

Finally, smilesallround has two properties in York. The first is a semi-detached bungalow in The Glade, Stockton Lane, priced at £169,950.

There is a lounge/diner with a mounted gas fire, a fitted kitchen with a built-in electric oven and hob and a bathroom with a fitted three-piece suite.

The front garden boasts off-street parking and a single garage, while the rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with shrub borders and a patio area.

The second property is a Victorian terrace in Sutherland Street, York, at £162,000.

This home is in the popular South Bank area and is close to both York city centre and the railway station.
