The Racecourse - Quaint Victorian Home - Free Parking

## Space

Our house is over 100 years old and though greatly cared for, shows its age in some places. Expect to find some loving wear, quaint aging both inside and outside. The Racecourse offers homely accommodation that would suit a family or group of 4. It is perfect for any family with a four-leg furry family member as it is pet-friendly. The house is set up for 4 guests but can accommodate up to 6, if additional guests are happy to camp out on the double sofa bed.

Our sister property The Victoria, is very similar and just a few doors down from each other. If your dates are not available or you are needing extra space this may work for you. Coming soon will be The Knavesmire which is located on the same street. a stone's throw away. We will be able to accommodate up to 18 guests across the three houses, please drop us a message to check availability.

The layout of our home ...

A private enclosed back courtyard with outdoor seating, safe area for children and pets. The barbecue is available to use.

The cosy living/dining room is a light airy open plan living space with a Victorian fireplace, slate dining table with four chairs. The staircase is featured in the centre of the room. Please note, as with most Victorian houses, the staircase is quite steep due to the age and style of the property. The sofa can be made into a comfortable double bed if needed for extra guests. Smart TV with netflix, nintendo wii with games, board games, books (or swop-a-book) and complimentary Wi-Fi is available. Plenty of entertainment for a night in!

Leading off the dining room you will find a fully stocked, well equipped kitchen, with everything you need to cook.

– Plenty of pots/pans/serving dishes for large meals.
– Serving utensils.
– Full set of knives.
– Oven, grill, and hob.
- Microwave
- Kettle and toaster
– Fridge
- Washing machine.
- Coffee machine.

We provide all those extra little things like tea towels, j cloths, washing up liquid, bin liners etc.

Leading on from the kitchen is the downstairs family bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. Towels are provided for the number of guest booked.

You will find upstairs ....

Two spacious bedrooms featuring one luxury comfortable super king size bed and two single beds. Black out curtains and plenty of bedroom furniture to store and hang your belongings. Both bedrooms have ample space for a travel cot. Bed linen is provided for your stay.

Ideally located for dog walkers, runners and children with the Knavesmire being so close. Situated near the popular award winning ‘Bishy Road’, a short ten minute walk away.. A twenty minute walk will take you into York city centre, along the banks of the River Ouse.

Free on street parking is available outside the house. It is a twenty minute walk into York center which can be taken along the River Ouse or alternatively passing through the famous "Bishy Road". There is a bus stop located at the end of the road, taking you into York within minutes.

Quiet hours between 10pm and 8am, we live in a quiet residential street and like to the neighbours happy.

Good location, quiet area
The house is in a good location and quiet residential area, on street parking was never a problem, always a space. We did have an issue with the cleaning, which was rectified quite quickly. There is room for improvement in some areas which I have highlighted to the owners.

Cozy place to stay in York
We were visiting York for the Viking Festival. We were out and about all day. The house was an easy walk into town. It was a comfy place to return to at the end of a long day exploring.
