You’ll find this contemporary, light-filled home in the village of Fulford, a five-minute drive from the centre of historic York. Inside, the place is open-plan and breezy, with cleverly placed skylights and white-washed walls adding a fresh and sleek feel throughout. The minimalist living area was our favourite spot to relax and the spacious patio is a treat on sunny summer mornings. Make your favourite meals in the bright kitchen or nip into the city to sample the tasty selection of bars, restaurants, tea rooms and cafes. If you fancy stretching your legs, we recommend following the River Ouse into York – it’ll take you around forty minutes if you go at a leisurely pace. Spend an afternoon exploring the web of medieval streets, admiring the soaring Minster’s Gothic architecture and walking the time-worn City Walls. At the end of another eventful day, sup real ale in oak-panelled taverns that have been serving revellers since the Tudor times.
