On The Foss

Holiday Rental Description

This Grade II listed home may be modern by York’s standards (Georgian, in fact) but it’s still got bags of character. The location is tough to beat – on the banks of the Foss River, tucked in amongst the trendy, global restaurants and boutique coffee shops of Walmgate. York’s historic attractions are at your fingertips with the stunning York Minster a seven-minute walk down atmospheric old streets, and the Jorvik Viking Centre a three-minute stroll. Inside, old sash windows let in plenty of natural light and you’ll find a stylish medley of slate grey and duck-egg blue keeping things contemporary. The cosy living room has plenty to entertain you after a day exploring the city (even an X-Box for rainy days) and the open-plan kitchen keeps the place spacious and sociable. Come bedtime, a queen-size bed awaits for a sound sleep.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the top floor with no lift in the building so be prepared to climb some stairs
*On a buzzing old street in the centre you may hear some street noise during the day
*There is no parking with this home but York centre is on your doorstep and there are paid, public carparks nearby and a loading zone opposite the building
