Situated in the centre of York, this terraced home will suit a family or friends on a city break. The terrace is a highlight, as are the two living rooms (especially when visiting with youngsters), while the open-plan kitchen is great for spending time as a group. We like how the bold colour scheme transforms the traditional features, and while there’s plenty of space to unwind, there's only space for three at the kitchen bar. Still, you're just a short walk from York’s diverse array of restaurants, the 13th-century Gothic cathedral and the river cruises.
