About this space
A recently renovated 1 bedroom, ground floor flat facing York City Bar Walls. The property comes equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It has become very popular for long term stays for those wishing to work from home or self isolation purposes.
Ideally located just a 5 minute walk into York city centre and minutes from the popular and vibrant 'Bishy Road' and local amenities. It is the perfect place to relax after a busy day exploring this beautiful city.
The space
This lovely flat is on the ground floor of a newly renovated Victorian house. The communal entrance is shared with only one other flat but the rear yard is completely private to the ground floor. The lovely courtyard has a unique view on York City Walls and is exclusively for the use of this property.
The inside space consists of an open plan kitchen diner and living room.
In the colorfully decorated living space, you have a Smart TV with freeview and internet access, a double sofa and plenty of extra seating by the bay windows. Plus there is a table and chairs.
The bedroom is decorated in a teal art Deco style and contains a double bed and plenty of guest storage.
The kitchen consists of an under counter fridge freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and Nespresso machine.
The shower room includes a shower unit, toilet and wash hand basin.
There will be some complimentary tea/coffee waiting for you which I am sure will be useful for those arriving after a long journey!
Fresh white bedding and towels are provided (hand towel and bath towel per person), as well as miniature travel sized bottles of shampoo, shower gel and soap. Other items included are a washing-up pack, toilet roll and kitchen roll, which will last a couple of days.
