Nancy's Blushes

Original sash windows, ornate fireplaces, and freshly cut flowers fill this period townhouse perched just a ten-minute walk from York's historic centre. As pretty as a picture inside and out, this is a home you'll happily retreat to after days exploring the medieval streets. When the sun shines, head on outside into the suntrap, walled garden – if you time it right, you'll see the hydrangeas in all their pink glory. And on winter nights, flex your culinary skills in the made-for-action kitchen, then come together in the atmospheric dining room to host a glamorous dinner party. When it's time to put your feet up, the separate reception room has sumptuous sofas beside a fireplace to sink right in. And up the grand flight of stairs, you'll find three serene bedrooms of elegant design and lofty proportions. Beyond this luxurious home, you'll find many of the city's historical hotspots close by, including York Minister (fifteen minutes on foot) and the vibrant Shambles Market (nineteen minutes on foot). When thought's turn to food, lose yourself in the labyrinth of streets to discover bustling restaurants, traditional pubs, and quaint tea rooms for a hefty portion of scones and Yorkshire nostalgia.
