The house is a brilliant location to walk into York. The living room was cosy when fire was on but the rest of the house was cold, a couple of hours of heating was not enough to keep the house warm when the weather was cold and wet. Bits of the house are in need of attention, bathroom grouting and damp spots on bedroom walls.
