Cornerhouse, a luxury townhouse 15mins walk along the charming river to the city
Welcome to the Cornerhouse, York, a stunning 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom luxury townhouse which is just a few minutes walk from the City Centre along the ancient banks of the River Ouse. This beautiful 4 storey Victorian property has recently been subject to an outstanding refurbishment and provides the comfort and space to ensure you have an enjoyable York holiday.
The property sits in a highly sought after quiet residential area with pubs, delicatessens and supermarkets all in close proximity. Cornerhouse is furnished and equipped to the highest standards and provides an elegant, spacious holiday home which feels luxurious at every turn. Down to the basement and you’ll find a large, bright, modern kitchen fitted with high spec appliances including Nespresso coffee machine, induction hob, the latest Neff Hide and Slide oven, Bosch dishwasher, a washer dryer and full size fridge freezer. The cupboards are well stocked with high quality catering equipment, crockery and glassware to ensure you are able to prepare a special meal to serve on the solid oak full size dining table that sits at the heart of this large kitchen. The kitchen also includes a casual seating area so that meal preparation remains a social occasion and part of your holiday with a handy downstairs cloak room and wash room for added convenience.
The ground floor provides a generously sized, double aspect sitting room, with reclining leather settees, contemporary armchairs, a large 49 inch curved Smart TV linked to the free Wi Fi. A Smart home hub allows you to play music, adjust the lighting and heating system all from the comfort of your chair plus listen to the latest news, weather and get up to date information about the local area. Relaxing mood lighting and large circulation space makes the sitting room a comfortable place for you to relax together on your holiday.
The bedrooms in Cornerhouse are set over the first and second floors. The first of which is a large double aspect master bedroom; a beautiful room which boasts an oak king size bed and wardrobe, Smart TV and ensuite shower room with power shower. Also on this floor is the spacious family bathroom with a full size shower bath with power shower and contemporary heated towel rail. On the second floor are two more double bedrooms. The first room is equipped with a king-size bed which can be split into two singles depending on your requirements (please note this will need to be requested at the point of booking). This large room also includes walk in wardrobe, Smart TV and vaulted ceiling adding further to the sense of space. The second bedroom on this floor also has a similar vaulted ceiling and provides double bed, oak wardrobe, Smart TV and double aspect giving this room a light airy feel.

Local Area
York is one of the best city break destinations in England. But don’t just take our word for it, York is constantly in the UK top 20 Cities to visit and in Lonely Planet’s 2014 Best list, Yorkshire was described as the best place in Europe and third best in the world to visit.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD, with its ancient walls and Minster the city has been the north’s spiritual capital for 2000 years. Cornerhouse is ideally placed to sample this ancient City. Everywhere in York is easily reachable by foot and with a short riverside walk to the City's castle, visitors to Corner House can enjoy hundreds of attractions, museums, historic buildings, tours, shops, restaurants and bars.
When visiting Corner house the whole of Yorkshire is on the doorstep with excellent transport links, including the 10 min interval Park and Ride bus stop on the main road at the end of the street. Visitors can easily get to the station, City centre or alternatively head out to the City's Designer Outlet, a must visit fashion and shopping destination, home to 120 designer brands all at up to 60% less.
Cornerhouse visitors who wish to explore the City's extensive cycle network can store their bikes in the secure bike shed or hire them a few minutes walk away.
Arriving at Cornerhouse could not be easier; by car there is no need to drive into the city centre situated as it is just off the A19, Fulford Road. The property has a parking permit for free on street parking for 1 car.
For those vistors who have travelled to York from further a field by train and wish to explore the Yorkshire Countryside or Coast, daily car hire is also available just adjacent to the Park and Ride bus stop and bookable in advance over the internet.
Cornerhouse is a 2 minute walk away from a Sainsbury's supermarket so shopping for those last minute items could not be easier, alternatively as well as all the City Centre restaurants there are three high quality delicatessens within a 5 minute walk of the house.
Rounding off the perfect location, for those looking to complete a days sightseeing with a drink in a traditional Pub then the Wellington Inn or the Fulford Arms are both again within a 5 minute walk from the Corner House.
Bookings are available for a minimum of 3 nights

About the host
Hosted by Jo Ferris
Hi, my name is Jo Ferris and I am one of the owners of Cornerhouse. Although we work locally, family ties and commitments mean that we live approximately 40 minutes away. What we love to do, however, is spend time in York with family and friends and Cornerhouse is the ideal property to allow us to do that.
Although we have stayed in many holiday lets over the years this is the first time that we have owned a holiday cottage ourselves and on starting out I have been very conscious of what we like to find when you first open the front door.

Why they chose this property
We feel very lucky to have found this property as its size and location makes it a perfect place for us to enjoy the City of York. The living room and kitchen provides us with plenty of space to socialise and enjoy each others company. Yet when you want bit of chill out time to yourself there is also room to get away from each other.
What makes this property unique
It was the location of Corner House that first attracted us to the property, situated in a quiet residential area with the convenience of local supermarkets, pubs and delicatessens close by. Then a short walk along the river path brings you into busy city centre York with all the shops, bars, restaurants and tourist attractions that it has to offer.
Arriving at Corner House could not be easier as by car there is no need to drive into the city centre situated as it is just off Fulford Road. If you are travelling by train, catch the bus outside the station and it drops you at the end of the road, 2 minutes away from the house.
