Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We love this home for the way its large glass French doors open onto a leafy view of the outside greenery. Swing them open and let the fresh air rush in as you enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony, followed by breakfast at the light wood dining table. This home is sleek and comfortable, with a lounge area for movie nights and two roomy bedrooms for restful nights of sleep. The kitchen is compact but well-equipped for rustling up snacks and meals, though there’s plenty nearby in town to keep you satiated. Explore the medieval streets of The Shambles, an eleven-minute walk away, before wandering through the University gardens, just ten minutes from home. You’ll be near the heart of town, walking distance from the sights and sounds of the city.

About North Yorkshire
England’s largest ceremonial county, almost half of North Yorkshire is covered in National Parkland. The wild hinterland of the North Yorkshire Moors can be discovered on foot over meandering paths, or from the comfort of a Victorian carriage on a vintage steam train.
