Just like a good old brew, this home will never go out of style, and provides a warming dose of home comfort. However, unlike your traditional Yorkshire Gold, this unique townhouse is dripping in sumptuous detailing, bags of character, and fabulous artistic touches, bringing a certain sophistication to the table. We think it's full of fun and creates the kind of atmosphere that's at once relaxed and inviting, whilst also feeling a little bit special. Spend the day exploring York, from its winding cobbled lanes packed with boutique shops, cute cafes, and charming pubs where locals and visitors mingle as one, to its wealth of historical attractions, cathedrals and ruins. Then return to the splendour of this gorgeous Grade II listed Georgian townhouse — heading straight for the beautifully retro bar for a pre-dinner cocktail. Or, should the sun be shining in the oldest and perhaps most striking of Yorkshire's cities, mix up a batch of your favourite aperitif and take it out to the lovely courtyard-style garden, where you'll find sociable seating areas and twinkling fairy lights to set the scene on a summer's evening. Located just a five-minute walk from York Station and ten from the very heart of town, this home offers you a great starting point for satisfying your Yorkshire yearnings — though we think we'd have trouble pulling ourselves out of its quirky, luxurious spaces.
