This wonderful historic property dates from the 14th century. This row of Tudor properties offers us a charming view of Tudor life and are an important part of York city heritage.
From the front entrance, there is a stone flagged corridor leading to the yard at the back, and from this the entrance to the apartment above the adjacent shop. There is a large kitchen diner on the 1st Floor with plenty of room to sit and relax over a meal, the main double bedroom and a shower room. The second floor has a twin and a double bedroom, along with another shower room, and the 3rd Floor attic room has been furnished as a living room with two leather armchairs and bean bags. The smart TV can be used to view Netflix and Amazon Prime etc – so don’t forget your login details.
All the rooms feature old exposed beams, but please remember this a very old property which has settled over the years, so along with these features there are also uneven stairs and wonky floors – you will have to watch your head up the stairs, so please be careful..

Micklegate is one of York’s most famous historic streets, once the main ceremonial entrance into the city. Kings and queens processed through Micklegate Bar, the impressive medieval gateway that still stands today. The street itself is lined with period buildings, independent shops, and a thriving mix of pubs, restaurants, and cafés. Just a short walk from York station, Micklegate combines rich history with a lively modern atmosphere, making it a popular base for visitors.
