Chez Mannion - A Family Break That Sleeps 5 Guests In 3 Bedrooms, York

North Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 5

A true one of a kind property that has been stylishly refurbished throughout to provide an exquisite finish whilst retaining the 16th century features and boasting views of York Minster.

This stunning 16th-century apartment is ideal for couples or families wanting to explore the sights of the city and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. Situated above an artisan delicatessen in the city centre, you are surrounded by independent shops and eateries amongst the cobbled streets, as well as having views of magnificent York Minster.

You're also within a few hundred metres of York's many interesting attractions. Beyond the walls, there is some picturesque countryside to be explored on foot or by bike. As its age would suggest, this charming apartment is packed with original features, but these are blended seamlessly with contemporary style and decor to create a luxurious apartment. Whilst exposed beams, wooden panelling and exquisite fireplaces add character, the crisp white walls and neutral palette make it feel bright and fresh throughout. Occasional pops of colour add comfort and interest.

After ascending the staircase past the Mannion's Cafe below, you will find yourself in the kitchen/diner. This light and airy room is well-equipped with everything you'll need to cook up some tasty treats. It has bespoke cabinets and an interesting breakfast bar for dining at.

Moving through the lounge, you will appreciate the sense of comfort. Its focal point is the fireplace (decorative only), whilst velvet-effect sofas in a range of rich colours invite you to sink into them. Once again, exposed beams in the walls remind you of the apartment's heritage. There is the added bonus of a piano in this room for those with an inclination to tinkle on the ivories.

Also on this floor is one of the 3 bedrooms.The peaceful master bedroom with a king-size handmade bed, made by the finest bedmaker in Britain. This room has magnificent wall-panelling painted white for a contemporary twist and the sumptuous curtains add to the sense of grandeur.

Upstairs is the double room. The vaulted ceiling adds space and light, but there is restricted height in places. The well presented single bedroom lies opposite the double room with the bathroom of the property on the same floor featuring a luxuriously large walk in shower.

Outside there is a small seating area and an outbuilding down the stairs housing a washing machine. Please note that during the day access to the washing machine is shared with the cafe but it is free to use on an evening. There is no parking included with the property but NCP Tanner Row offer parking just 5 minutes away and the train station just a 7-mnute walk away.

This apartment is located in York. Barley Hall and York Mansion House are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Yearsley Pool and Jorvik DIG. Yorkshire Museum Gardens and Yorkshire Museum are also worth visiting.
