This townhouse, set in the quiet residential neighbourhood of Bootham, is just a fourteen-minute walk from both the York Minster and The Shambles. Spend your days exploring York and its pretty medieval streets – when you return home, you’ll find a roomy downstairs with a cosy living area full of plush seating options. Unwind for a bit in front of the ornamental fireplace and enjoy afternoon tea. Or in finer weather, sit out in the back garden. When it’s time for dinner, the kitchen is large, sleek and modern – ideal for whipping up meals fit for the whole group. Set the large wooden dining table and feast over a few bottles of wine. Come bedtime, you’ll find five equally inviting bedrooms upstairs with mauve and pink throws that add warmth and cheeriness. Read for a bit in bed, enjoying solitude and privacy, before getting a full night of restorative rest.
