From its enchanting vine-covered brick exterior to its sunny front garden space – ideal for morning coffees and sunset glasses of wine – this home is a vision of country chic yet just minutes away from York’s most famous sights. Inside, the living room is a bright and welcoming space with its wood floors, vaulted ceilings and wood-burning fire, while the sleek, modern kitchen is ready to host cosy dinners when you’re not out sampling the city’s food scene. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, have been carefully curated with style and comfort in mind, and you’re sure to get a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to their courtyard facing position. While you could spend all day tucked inside your beautiful cottage, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a five-minute walk from the York City Walls, an eight-minute stroll from York Minster, while the Shambles – one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval shopping streets – is ten minutes away on foot.
