The second floor is now home to a third bedroom, a rarity in the area, where generous windows frame a splendid outlook of York Minster.
The Great Outdoors
The house is surrounded by nature. A small, private garden, packed full of flowering plants and a tree, sits at the front; at the rear is a picturesque garden framed by Victorian red-brick walls. In the summer months, the latter is used as an extension of the kitchen with its ample space for a dining table and chairs. From here, a gate opens onto a back lane.
Out and About
The city is arranged around York Minster, an enormous cathedral originally built by the Romans. One of the largest of its kind in northern Europe, the Grade I-listed cathedral has been destroyed and damaged by various fires and battles. Today, it houses magnificent medieval stained glass as well as two functioning bell towers and is open daily for tours.
York's city walls also remain in place, having been rebuilt over the years, and can be seen from the top floor of this home. The city is also home to the Shambles, a street with exceptionally well-preserved medieval architecture. In addition to York's magical Christmas market is the Shambles Market, which runs year-round.
Victor Street is in a residential pocket which is well-served by ‘Bishy Road’, a quintessential high street with independent places to dine like The Pig and Pastry, Flori Bakery, and Melton’s. Marygate is home to the Michelin-starred Roots, while Partisan and the Bib Gourmand-awarded Skosh are in Micklegate. Spark – an outdoor community space – hosts a range of exciting food, retail, arts, and social enterprise start-ups.
Nearby state primary and secondary schools have a brilliant reputation, including Huntington School. Private schools include the popular St Peter’s School and Bootham School. There is also a Steiner School locally.
York Station is around a 12-minute walk from the house, with direct trains to London King’s Cross St Pancras in under two hours. The house is well positioned to access sites further afield, including The Moors and West Dales, as well as the Howardian Hills. It takes only 45 minutes to reach Robin Hood’s Bay, but more locally, the bucolic walking routes of the Yorkshire Wolds Way are a rambler’s paradise.
