7 Monk Bar Court is a lovely little house, tucked away within the City Walls of York, in a quiet lane that backs right on to the City Walls. Only a short walk to the Minster and anywhere else in the centre of York. Following directions from the York Train Station will sound more like a guided tour of York, but the fact that the house is tucked away down a little historic lane ensures that you will have a quiet undisturbed nights sleep.
The space
Situated on Monk Bar Court, which is a small lane off Goodramgate, the lane used to be known as Elbow Lane. In 1575 all householders in the city were required to keep the street in front of their properties clean and swept of dust, dirt, rubbish, animal droppings and anything else that stopped the road looking neat. These "sweepings" were taken to the nearest "midden", which for the inhabitants of Monk ward at that time was in a garden in Elbow Lane owned by Thomas Barker. Today you can enjoy peace and quiet in this lovely little back lane without any risk of someone dumping their sweepings in your yard!
Guest access
The property has a delightful open living room that leads on to a well fitted kitchen and dining area. All the mod-cons you might need including WiFi. Upstairs is a surprisingly spacious double bedroom with plenty of storage, and a lovely shower room that has a luxurious feel about it.
The small back yard is quite a surprise, opening straight out onto the historic City Walls.
