About this property

The Backyard N02 - a family break that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The Backyard is a newly built house in York,oozing with character and offering the perfect accommodation for up to six people. Located in Heworth, a quiet residential area in York, the house is within 10 minutes walking distance from the city centre where you can access all the wonderful things this amazing city has to offer - including countless restaurants, pubs, tea and coffee shops. York is known for its collection of small independent and somewhat unusual shops, which are definitely worth visiting. You can, of course, find all the major high street retailers here and York Designer Outlet is only a short bus ride away. For groceries, you are simply spoilt for choice, with all the main grocery shops within easy walking distance. The train station is only 25 minutes’ walk away (20 minutes to Leeds, 1 hour 50 min to London) and if you fancy a ride into town or a day out in the countryside, the bus stop is around the corner.

On entering this property, you feel immediately at home. There is a convenient coat rack and a cupboard for shoes, plus a separate WC. The hallway leads you to a wonderfully comfortable lounge which has direct access to the garden via a bifold door, perfect for those long summer evenings. The lounge leads to a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking your holiday breakfast or a delicious evening meal.

On the first floor you will find two good sized bedrooms plus a shared bathroom with a bath/shower. One of the bedrooms has a wonderfully comfortable king size bed with plenty of storage for you. The second bedroom is equipped with a sofa bed that can be made up into a comfortable double, again with plenty of space. Continuing up to the second floor, there is a lovely bedroom that has twin beds that can be made up into a super king, dependent upon your needs. This bedroom also has its own en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Please note, individual single duvets are supplied for each bed at this property.

The house is situated in a quiet area, giving you a peaceful oasis in which to retreat when you need a break from your York adventures! It has a lovely outside space for the warm days and is a cosy retreat for the cooler nights. It also has parking for one car, two by prior arrangement.

Should you wish to arrange a private tour of York or the surrounding area, or arrange for a home cooked meal, the owner of the property may be able to help, just let us know!

The Backyard is a special find and will provide the perfect place in York form which to begin your adventures.

Comfortable stay at Backyard No 2

The property was clean, tidy and had all the amenities. It was within walking distance to the city centre and supermarkets. There are also a couple of bus stops nearby and there is a parking space for one car outside the property. We had a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay at Backyard No 2. The only suggestion we would like to make is that it would have been nice to have a wardrobe or clothes rail in the bedrooms. We would definitely recommend the property for anyone wanting to stay in York.

Perfect family get away

This was the perfect home for our family getaway. Home was spacious and well equipped. Great location too with a play park just up the road for the littlest of our party and only a 10 minute walk into town for everyone else. Thank you for a lovely week away :)

The Backyard No2. Highly recommend 3 bed house

Modern property in private location with easy access to York city centre. It was perfect for our family of 4. Very clean, lots of utensils and appliances provided. Everything looked new. Met the property owner who was very friendly and welcoming. Family loved the house and would definitely use again.
