Directly across from the massive green that envelopes the York Racecourse, this home is primely positioned for those looking to catch a sporting event or two over their visit. The heart of the city itself is a scenic thirty minutes’ walk away or nine-minute drive. You can explore the York Minster with ease, ambling around The Shambles and stopping for tea before heading to the city walls. Back at home, you’ll find the lovely stone facade gives way to an equally charming interior home with original fireplaces, vibrant wallpaper and large, green-filled windows. Settle in the bright living area with a good book or an evening G&T before rustling up dinner for the crew in the well-equipped kitchen. The dining room has a fun chandelier and glossy black table, perfect for entertaining in style. Afterwards, head to bed in welcoming and private rooms that share a soothing pastel theme.
