Fairfax House is a stunning 18th century Georgian townhouse, one of the finest in England and situated in the heart of York.
Restored by York Civic Trust in the early 80s, it is now the home for an outstanding collection of Georgian furniture, silver, ceramics and clocks, formed by the late Noel Terry of the Terry's chocolate fame. Sir Simon Jenkins noted in his best-selling book England's Thousand Best Houses (2003), 'the most perfect eighteenth century townhouse I have come across anywhere in England'.
The house was created in 1762 as a dowry for Anne Fairfax, the only surviving child of Viscount Fairfax and the family turned to York's most distinguished architect, John Carr, to design the interior.
