Location
The Horseshoe is one of York's highly regarded residential areas just off Tadcaster Road and is well positioned for the city centre and the A64.
Steeped in history, Dringhouses, once a small Roman settlement has grown to become one of York’s most desirable and sought after locations. In medieval times a small farming community, Dringhouses became an important and affluent location during the 19th century where many prominent and influential York families started to build large residential properties, today remaining a symbol of their status.
The vibrant suburb now enjoys numerous facilities including a local Post Office, cafe, a sports club, a library, hotels, pubs, a regular bus service, bars and restaurants with two supermarkets being about three quarters of a mile away. The Knavesmire and York race course is less than half a mile away.
York railway station is just over two miles away and offers regular services to major cities including Manchester, Edinburgh and London with some journeys taking less than two hours to Kings Cross. The A64 ring road gives access to Leeds, the A1(M) and the wider motorway network.
York College is only a short distance (1 mile), York University can be accessed by car or bike and is about four miles away. The nearest Primary School is at Dringhouses (Ofsted Good 2019) just under half a mile away. The city offers a diverse range of primary and secondary schools including the popular Scarcroft Primary School (Academy), All Saints RC School (Ofsted Outstanding 2016) and Millthorpe School (Academy). Independent schools on offer are The Mount, St Peter's and Bootham.
The property is positioned a mile and a half outside the city’s historic walls and all the popular attractions including: York Theatre Royal, the Art Gallery, York Minster, Bettys Tea Rooms and the famous Shambles along with a range of local cafes, shops, restaurants, public houses and supermarkets.
