Give warehouse living beside the river a whirl at this characterful apartment nestled within the medieval walls of York's historic centre. This 19th Century building has had many former guises - first, as one of Europe's largest flour mills, before a stint as confectionary giants, Rowntree and Co's navigation HQ. These days, it's an altogether different affair. The five-storey warehouse, complete with a water tower, has been reworked into luxury apartments to glorious effect. We love the exposed brickwork and industrial windows, which reveal green slices of riverside life below. And thanks to its unique setting, you'll be sure to bank a peaceful night's sleep here. When it's time to set off exploring, you're just a short walk from the city's historical hotspots, including York Minister (fourteen minutes on foot) and the vibrant Shambles Market (eight minutes on foot). When thoughts turn to food, you'll be spoilt for choice here, with bustling restaurants and traditional pubs aplenty. And no visit to York would be complete without a visit to the charming Betty's Café Tea Rooms (just twelve minutes on foot) for a fat rascal scone, or three.

About York City Centre
One of England's most important cultural hubs since it was founded in 71 AD, the fascinating city of York offers quaint charm and modern magnificence in equal measure. Here, cobblestone streets lead to contemporary art galleries, and wattle and daub houses hold trendy craft beer bars.
