Located in the heart of York, North Yorkshire, this 4-bedroom townhouse known as Precentor's Court is a luxurious holiday property that can accommodate up to 8 guests. The house has received numerous accolades, including a 5-star gold award from Visit England and exceptional reviews on Tripadvisor. It has been recognized by Sawday's as a 'Special Place' and is suitable for families and mixed groups of friends. However, due to its location in a sacred and quiet part of the city, single-sex parties are not accepted.
The property has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, preserving its original features dating back nearly 300 years while incorporating a mix of antique and contemporary furnishings. Situated at the entrance to Precentor's Court, the townhouse offers a unique and enviable location just steps away from York Minster, making it an ideal base for exploring the city and the rest of Yorkshire. The house is centrally heated with a courtyard garden at the back and access to the Dean's garden in the front.
The living accommodation is spread over three floors, with amenities such as WiFi broadband, a lounge with comfortable seating and a high-definition TV, and a fully equipped kitchen/dining area. Each bedroom offers views of the Minster and Dean's garden, with high-quality bedding and linen provided. The house also features 'The Knowledge,' a guide compiled by the owners to help guests make the most of their stay in York.
For safety reasons, the property is not toddler-proof, and caution is advised for very young children and the elderly due to the presence of winding wooden stairs. Parking is available for one vehicle, with additional spaces in nearby York City Council car parks. Stag/hen parties are not permitted out of respect for the Church and neighboring residents. Overall, Precentor's Court offers a luxurious and comfortable retreat in a prime location for exploring the historic city of York.
