Out of the ordinary

A picturesque town house nestled in the city centre of York, Treasurer's House has many tales to tell.

Its' 2,000 year history includes a reportedly haunted Roman road in the cellar and Edwardian servants' quarters in the attics, with thirteen period rooms in between.

Outside is a tranquil sunken garden overlooking York Minster.
