York’s ancient history goes all the way back to 71 AD, spanning the reign of the Roman Empire, Viking landings, and medieval England. While history is all around, this studio apartment is ready to welcome you to 21st-century living. This majestic, red-brick development is a recent conversion, boasting a waterside location on the River Foss, just an eight-minute walk from historical landmarks like The Shambles. As soon as you arrive, you can tell this isn’t typical studio living, but pure luxury. We love the elegant traditional-meets-modern features in the home, such as the angular (yet superbly plush) Chesterfield sofa, and an original sash window, set in the trendy frame of an exposed brick wall. Industrial elements come into play too – a black metal framed dining set and geometric wall hangings sit next to the sleek kitchen with quartz worktops. Innovatively, your bed folds down from an alcove, meaning you’ve got plenty of room to sit around sipping cups of Earl Grey in the day. But after nightfall, the pub is calling. Wander into town in ten minutes to discover the best boozers for a pint of local ale.
