The Kensinston - 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 Kensington 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 guests are happy to camp out on the small double sofa bed.

The layout of our home ...

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

A cosy living space at the front of the house with a smart tv, giving access to apps such as BBC iplayer, stream films on Netflix. Board games, books (or swop-a-book), complementary WiFi is available. Plenty of entertainment for a night in! The sofa can be made into a comfortable double bed. for extra guests if needed

Along the hallway is the dining room. A light airy room with a family dining table, six chairs and highchair if needed. Plenty of space to get together and serve a family meal, picnics or takeaways.

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.

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

You will find upstairs ....

Two spacious bedrooms featuring luxury comfortable super king size beds, the beds can be unzipped to accommodate two single beds if preferred.

## Interaction

We operate a self check-in service. This allows more flexibility on arrival time and greater privacy. The entire house and patio is yours, exclusively. Checking in details will be sent via message the day before arrival. We are on hand if anything is needed.

## Neighborhood

Our house is located in a charming neighborhood with the popular award winning ‘Bishy Road’, a short ten minute walk away. Where you will find independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs serving local ale. Nearby at the end of the road you will find the local Knavesmire butchers, green grocer, bakery and local pub. 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.

## Transit

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.

## Notes

Well behaved dogs which are house trained are welcome. Please let us know.

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

Parking can be tight due to the narrow victorian streets. We recommend to tuck your wing mirrors in!

The sofa bed is a small double size, suitable for one adult or two children.

Please note that the stairs are fairly steep as it is a victorian property, therefore may not be suitable accommodation for anyone with phyisical disabilities or young children.
