Converted into an apartment in 2017, this apartment in the centre of York is a shining example of contemporary interior design. The space itself has been cleverly designed to make the address brighter, with skylights dotted liberally about and an internal window in the master bedroom looking out to the eye-catching chandelier in the living room. Both the granite worktops in the kitchen and the textured tiling in the bathroom are as sleek as they come, while the presence of a private patio area with bistro-style seating is welcome — especially when the English summer behaves itself. If that's the case, there are plenty of historic attractions on your doorstep. Turning left, the Mickelgate Bar sits four minutes' walk away, while Merchant Adventurers' Hall takes eight minutes to reach on foot, crossing the River Ouse in the process.

About North Yorkshire
England’s largest ceremonial county, almost half of North Yorkshire is covered in National Parkland. The wild hinterland of the North Yorkshire Moors can be discovered on foot over meandering paths, or from the comfort of a Victorian carriage on a vintage steam train. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is more green and undulating with grey stone villages dotting the hillside and fields and fells stretching to the horizon. Between the...
