Positioned in a beautifully quaint riverside spot in York, this renovated cottage is tucked away in a romantic cobbled-street setting, just a five to ten minute's stroll away from the city centre. Despite its charming historic exterior, this home features contemporary finishings throughout. Combining quirky original features with modern home comforts, it's an idyllic place to relax after a day of discovering the ancient town of York. With plenty of natural daylight and optimal storage, it's as pleasant and convenient as can be. You'll even find easy and accessible parking outside the property too. Although, if you plan to stay within the city, a car simply won't be necessary, as you'll be within walking distance from the city's highlights. Stroll out to the quality bistros and wine bars just steps away on Walmgate come evening time, as here you'll quite literally be just a stone's throw from arriving back home when ready for a restful night's sleep.
