About this property
The Drey - Modern cottage for four in York Centre
The Drey is a lovely cosy terraced house situated within York City walls and perfectly located for all of the attractions of York.
Approximately a 10-15 minute walk from York Railway station and just a 5 minute walk from some amazing independent coffee shops and restaurants on Micklegate.
The house has been considerately decorated by the new owners to offer a modern home from home stay.
There is a spacious but cosy lounge with smart tv leading on to a modern kitchen and breakfast room,
To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over the bath.
To the rear there is a small garden space.
Why The Drey?
We have a little family of Squirrels who often come to visit us in the back yard (Cyril & Sybil), so we felt it only right to pay tribute to our bushy friends by calling the house The Drey.
Please note: We have a doorbell camera to the front door
