HERE is a look inside a £1.5 million home with a roof terrace overlooking the beautiful York Minster.

Just yards from the world renowned, historic minster in the city centre, Fenton House is a Grade 2* Listed refurbished town house with period features throughout. 

It is believed that the house dates back to about 1705 - formerly owned by the diocese of York Minster.

The website says: "The attractive central staircase creates a real sense of spaciousness and leads onto the impressively proportioned sitting, dining room and the newly created kitchen with breakfast bar, ideal for entertaining and family living.

"In addition to the extensive accommodation, there is a superb adjoining self-contained one bedroom studio with separate entrance and terrace, ideal for family or friends to stay or as a holiday let. This would also make an excellent addition to the main house as a further reception room/bedroom."

The first and second floor holds six double bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and three shower rooms.

But perhaps one of its most charming assets is the walled paved courtyard garden and roof terrace with a panoramic view over the city and towards the Minster.
