Nestled within the traditional neighbourhood of Bishophill, this Victorian townhouse is just a five-minute walk from the centre of York for plenty of medieval-style shops, cafes and historic sights. Perfect for a family or two couples, this charming terraced home tells many stories – from being directly inside and facing York's ancient city walls, to key pieces of furniture originating from the owner’s family history and time spent travelling. As well as its fantastic central location, one of our favourite parts of this quaint townhouse is the french doors leading out to the outside courtyard – an intimate spot for alfresco dining on a warm day. Home truths: *Your host can provide an on-street parking permit for one vehicle – for additional cars a car park is a five-minute walk away *This home is spread over two floors – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *This is a lived-in home, so expect for some of the host's personal belongings to be present *Guests have access to all areas of the home, apart from a couple of cupboards throughout the property *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
