A beautifully presented two bedroomed Victorian terraced house.

Conveniently located within easy walking distance of the York Tourist attraction, York railway station and very close to the famous 'Bishy Road'.

Sympathetically styled and featuring a stunning open plan kitchen/family room, a beautiful courtyard and 2 log burners. A stylish experience in a peaceful but central location.

This beautiful Victorian Terrace provides a very high quality and relaxing space to enjoy the city of York from. It is situated on a quiet street yet a stone throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The main living space is open plan incorporating a lounge/dining area and a very well stocked and extensive kitchen with good quality appliances - all looking out onto a completely private pretty walled courtyard.

The Main lounge is seperate with a smart TV, log burner and sumptuous furnishings creating a very cozy feel.

Both bedrooms fitted with good size wardrobes and super comfy mattresses and the bathroom fully refurbished.

Parking is provided via an on street parking permit for those that request it. The permit covers a number of nearby streets including directly in front of the house.

The house is ideal for well behaved pets as the ground floor coverings are either tiles or wood and the courtyard is enclosed.

If you wish to drop your bags off to extend your stay we would suggest contacting YorBag on High Petergate or York train station Left Luggage.

Bishophill is an area of central York, it lies within the city walls and has been occupied since at least the Roman period. Today, the charming network of terraced streets strongly reflect the character of a Victorian suburb. Enclosed by the wall, this area is a tranquil haven with a very strong sense of identity.

Bishopthorpe Road lies just south of the ancient walls of York, a short walk from Bishophill and Courtyard Cottage. The independent shops, cafes and businesses that make up Bishopthorpe Road parade have been serving the community for over a hundred years. Those who know and love this quirky little corner of York refer to it affectionately as ‘Bishy Road’ for short.

We provide a parking permit for parking one car on the street either directly in front of the house or on one of the streets close by (depending on availability). The permit can be used anywhere in the R15 zone and the permit must be visibly displayed in the car. Parking tickets and fines are the guest responsibility.

It is easy to walk from the house to the centre of York, access the city walls or to the local Bishy Road area.
