Housed in an elegant Georgian townhouse that’s been fully renovated by the York Conservation Trust, this bright home in the city centre is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore York’s historic sights. With its large windows giving way to bustling street views and its cool collection of furnishings (we particularly like the trunk TV stand), this home allows you to soak up the York living in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll love waking up in the country-style bedroom and breakfasting at the window-side table while planning the day’s events. In the evenings, cosy up on the sofa with a good film and a glass of wine, or head out to explore the restaurants, cafes and pubs right on your front door. With The Shambles (the inspiration for Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley) a nine-minute walk away, York Minister a twelve-minute stroll and the City Walls fifteen minutes away on foot, you’re perfectly positioned to get the best out of the city in comfort and style.

Home truths

    While the apartment overlooks a bustling street, the double glazing here ensures a peaceful and quiet stay

    This home is located on the first floor of a building with no lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

About North Yorkshire

England’s largest ceremonial county, almost half of North Yorkshire is covered in National Parkland.
