Fishergate House was originally built in 1837 as a family home for Thomas Laycock Esq. to the designs of J.B. and W. Atkinson. During its long history it has been a girls’ school, headquarters for the MOD and an office building for Shepherd Homes. Converted in 2001 into nine boutique apartments, No. 1 is the largest property in Fishergate House and more akin to a quirky terraced house than a maisonette with the servant staircase giving access to four floors of accommodation – there are 39 steps from top to bottom. Its location is superb being situated just a few minutes stroll from Fishergate Bar, Walmgate Bar, the city walls and city centre amenities. · Modern ‘house’ within a converted period building · Grade II Listed Georgian building · Arranged over four floors · Great cityscape views · Allocated parking · Superb location just outside the city walls · Convenient for the railway station · No onward chain Having a share of the freehold is a positive. Most leaseholders do not have this and are subject to the vagaries of a remote Landlord and ground rent payments. At Fishergate all 9 owners share the freehold and all 9 have the opportunity at the AGM to take part and have their say in the running of the communal parts. Essentially the management company is employed by the Freeholders and they all have to agree the budget on an annual basis. It is a very equitable way of managing things and allows one ownership of the communal areas. No ground rent is payable.
