Pass the Keys | Flat 8 Bishophill · Stunning 1-Bed Flat within York's City Walls

Bursting with character and impressively unique. My one bedroom apartment is located in City Bar Walls, a short walk from the center of York and the famous and colorful 'Bishy' Road.

The interior is a mixture of original abstract artwork and collated vintage finds. I hope you will be impressed by the stunning high ceilings, original wooden beams and beautiful bay window. Choose my flat to be the perfect base for a couple’s retreat or friends looking to meet up and enjoy the city in style
The space
My unique home is located on the ground floor of an old renovated building.

✨ The Space ✨

The entrance area doubles as an office and cloakroom. This room has access to a separate kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, washing machine, compact dishwasher, stove and oven. Walk straight into the beautiful open plan living area.

The spacious living dining area includes a large table and chairs, use of Apple TV, HomePods and a plush sofa. Enjoy breakfast at home by the bay windows which bring in heaps of natural light. The flooring has recently been refurbished and the carpet has been replaced by beautiful wood flooring.

Stairs lead you to the bedroom and bathroom which are on the mezzanine level. Here you will find a king size bed, double wardrobe and chest of drawers for storage. The bathroom, also on the mezzanine leads off from the bedroom. Retaining the original wooden beams, styled in cool greys, it was newly installed with a large luxurious walk in shower, toilet and basin (no bath).

Guests have access to the entire flat.

There is a small patio outside of the bay windows which is there for decorative purposes. This is not for guest access, which I hope you can respect whilst staying in my flat.

I live in this flat yet often work away, which is why I am sharing my space. There will be some non-perishable items in the fridge and there are some alcoholic beverages out for my own consumption. If you would like to enjoy these too, I simply ask that you replace or provide a contribution. These items are left by myself in a trust capacity.

I have recently installed a log burner and kindly request that this is not used during your stay for fire safety precautions. (The heating has also been recently updated inside the flat!)

PARKING
Due to the cebtral location of my property, there is no parking. I recommend using Nunnery Lane car park for 24/7 parking at the most cost efficient rates. This is just a 5 minute walk from the property.

CHECK IN / CHECK OUT
Check-in time is after 4pm and check-out time is before 10am. A £30 charge will be requested if guests check themselves in early without permission or if guests do not check out on time as this will cause disruption to my cleaner’s schedule.
Please note that you will be charged £100 for lost keys, so please be careful with them.

DURING YOUR STAY
My property management team will be available 24/7 via email, or phone to provide any assistance my guests may need.

24/7 guest support is also available before and during your stay. The local community-based Pass the Keys® team personally inspects the property and certifies my home has met the Pass the Keys® Property Readiness Standard.
