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. So, if you want to meet the squirrels please feel free to put some of the nuts provided in the feeder, and I'm sure it won't be long before they make an appearance!
