Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

2-bedroom terrace with two reception rooms, downstairs loo and a private garden, just a 20 minute walk into York. Note that the stairs are particularly steep so won't be suitable for everyone. Also, visitors with smaller suitcases will be more comfortable going upstairs than visitors with large suitcases who easily damage walls, which I'd like to avoid.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

My home is a comfortable 20 minute walk from York Minster.
A slightly shorter walk gets you to the Theatre Royal, the York Art Gallery, library, the Museum Gardens which houses the Yorkshire Museum, and to Bootham Bar, the northern entrance to the old city of York with all its historical buildings, restaurants, pubs and museums.
Closer to my home are two grocery stores, two pizzerias, a fish and chips shops, and a hair dresser.. My stretch of terrace houses was developed in the late 1800s for workers who could have been employed at the Rowntree factory (now owned by Nestlé), which explains the occasional pleasant aroma of roasting cocoa beans.
Pubs, tea shops, bakeries, and a bingo parlour(!) are all within a 10 minute walk from home.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The Old Grey Mare on Clifton Green is recently re-opened after refurbishment and is said to be very good; the Minster Inn on Mary Gate is a quaint little pub that makes good pizzas, as does The Churchill on Bootham. Homestead Park is closeby, and the River Ouse has paths alongside for a pleasant walk or cycle. Being north of the city, it couldn't be easier to get to the charming villages, towns and country-side of the Wolds, the Hambletons, the coast, the Dales, and the North York Moors.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

I'd like my home to be both enjoyed and respected. I don’t use outside shoes on the fitted carpets which start at the stairs, and I tend to use indoor shoes downstairs, but that's not essential. If you're going to generate steam in the bathroom, please pull the white cord to activate the extractor fan before you shower, and leave the window open after so steam can escape. The entrance hall is particularly narrow so please carry your luggage in front of your body. If you carry it next to your body you're likely to damage the wallpaper.
