York is most well-known for its stunning cathedral, historic marketplace and city walls dating back to 71 CE. And this home, only a short walk from the city centre, has a direct view of the latter. On sunny days, admire the ancient stonework from your small patio, savouring a glass of wine as the evening draws to a close. It's an unparalleled view and we adore it – morning, noon or night, you'll want to spend every second dining alfresco and soaking up the views. The interior is modern and stylish, with lots of space to spread out and unwind. Sink into the squishy L-shaped sofa, do a spot of work from one of the two desks and whip up a meal in the pastel-coloured kitchen, which has everything you'll need for cooking. But when you want to explore your surroundings, you're just a ten-minute walk from York Minster, nine from the famous Betty's Tea Rooms and six from Shambles Market. With restaurants, pubs and plenty of local shops to browse, you'll have more than enough to keep you busy – and the private off-road parking is the icing on the cake. Home truths: *There's free private parking out front for two cars – you won't need it to explore York as everything is within walking distance, but it'll come in handy if you'd like to travel further afield *One of the bedrooms can be set up as two singles on request *This home has a private entrance
