Bordered by well-maintained hedges and flourishing plant beds, the south-facing garden of this home on the southwest outskirts of York is a real thing of beauty. When the weather's being kind, there are plenty of peaceful spots where you can sit out and relax, whether that's on the terrace or on the bench hidden away at the far side of the space. The recently renovated interior is equally as pleasant, with soothingly white walls and Scandi-inspired furnishings making for an address that feels welcomingly contemporary in style. Add to that a sleek black kitchen with plenty of surface space, plus an inviting bathtub in which to unwind at the end of the day, and you're sure to quickly feel at home here. When you're looking for ways to fill up your itinerary, you'll be pleased to learn that York Racecourse is only fifteen minutes' walk away, while the historic attractions in the centre of the city — such as York Minster — take a similar amount of time to reach in the car or on the bus.
