Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Quiet despite its busy locale, this home will have you in the centre of York, surrounded by pubs and cafes. You’ll be just five minutes on foot from York Minster – striking views of which you’ll have from one of your two balconies – and a five-minute walk from the winding medieval streets that comprise The Shambles. Back at home, you’ll find an open-concept space with a living room, kitchen and dining area – ideal for sociable evenings spent together. If the weather is pleasant, bring aperitifs out onto either of the balconies where you’ll find patio sets and views of the city’s red brick and York Minster. The kitchen is roomy and well-equipped for meals at home, while the bedrooms are plush and the perfect spot to lay your head after a day spent exploring.
