Tucked away in a historic building, this apartment welcomes plenty of natural light thanks to its original period features, including the large Georgian windows and high ceilings. As far as the rest of the apartment is concerned, it presents contrasting modern designs centred around comfort. With a south-facing garden, you'll also get the best of the sunshine outside. Guests can benefit from the added privacy of having two bathrooms here. Meanwhile, the local conveniences of Heworth, including its cafes and restaurants, are within walking distance – and the sights of York's city centre can be reached in just five minutes by car.

About York
It’s all about history in York. Thick stone walls encase the city centre where a labyrinth of narrow streets leads to the resplendent, gothic York Minster. The Shambles, where timber-framed houses almost touch across the street, has remained the same since the 14th century and is considered one of the best-preserved medieval streets in the country.
