WHAT do you look for in a property? Chances are the old mantra location, location, location would trip off the tongue, but what does it really mean? Do we actually need three things to make the location perfect and if not why say it?

Perhaps we do and here’s a first class apartment that gives a textbook definition for the three Ls.

This stunning modern first floor apartment is situated in a particularly sought after area of York just off Bishopthorpe Road, one of the most desirable addresses in England with its specialist shops and amenities. The property is also close to Knavesmire and the city centre which is easily reached via pleasant riverside walks through Rowntrees Park.

Then there are the river views from the Juliet balcony. If we’re ticking location boxes here, that’s all three met.

And some, because we haven’t ventured inside yet. Riverside Lodge doesn’t disappoint on this score either.

This is a good sized two bedroom apartment accessed by a communal hall leading up the stairs to an entrance vestibule with wooden flooring and video entry phone system.

An inner hallway leads to the sitting room opening onto the Juliet balcony and a dining kitchen featuring a range of fitted wall and floor units with work surfaces incorporating a 1.25 bowl stainless steel sink unit. Built-in Zanussi stainless steel electric oven with gas hob and extractor fan over. Plumbing for a dishwasher. Built-in Zanussi washing machine. Tiled splash backs. Recessed spotlights to the ceiling. Ceramic tiled floor. Separate dining area.

Bedroom one is well proportioned and comes with a range of built-in wardrobes and central dressing table with cupboard and drawers under. The en suite has a fully tiled shower cubicle, wash basin set into a vanity surround with drawers under, low flush WC and ladder style heated towel rail. The second bedroom is again of good size with a window to the front elevation and built-in wardrobes.

The house bathroom boasts a modern white suite comprising panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin set into a vanity surround with cupboard under, low flush WC and heated towel rail.

To the front of the development is an off street parking space.

A fine riverside apartment then, in a fabulous location. Looks like we do need all three Ls after all.
