This charming townhouse is just off Bishopthorpe “Bishy” Road. Hit the shops, restaurants and pubs of Bishy Road or make the ten-minute stroll along the River Ouse into the meandering medieval heart of York. It’s a typical red-brick terrace house with period features like original fireplaces and a claw-footed tub on display inside. The kitchen is farmhouse-style, perfect for rustling up family meals and the rustic dining table continues the provincial feel. Those bringing four-legged friends will find the little enclosed backyard a real bonus.

About York
It’s all about history in York. Thick stone walls encase the city centre where a labyrinth of narrow streets leads to the resplendent, gothic York Minster. The Shambles, where timber-framed houses almost touch across the street, has remained the same since the 14th century and is considered one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the country.
