Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming home has everything going for it. There's a knock-out location for a start, along with pretty, vintage styling and a small (but perfectly formed) outside space. A period cottage just ten minutes' walk from the city centre, it's the perfect base in this vibrant city. Designed to have a real home from home feel, it's a well-thought-out place with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. Character features like its cast iron fireplace and sash windows are complemented by Victorian-style radiators, vintage wall art and classic furnishings – with a few antique pieces thrown in and some lovely William Morris prints. Cosy up on the squashy sofa, eat at the table in the dining room or sit outside in the courtyard with a glass of wine. There's a modern kitchen and a ground floor bathroom, with two equal-sized bedrooms upstairs. Cross the river and walk into town for brunch at one of the many cafes, before exploring all the historic sights this beautiful city has to offer.
