Steeped in ancient history within its 13th-century City Walls, the centre of York is a hub of historical landmarks from all eras. Whether you’re hoping to visit a gothic cathedral from the 1400s, or a museum telling tales of Viking life in 900 AD, you’ll have a successful stay in this magical town. Just a fourteen-minute walk from all the delights of the city centre, this apartment sits in a perfect location for discovering York’s many sights. But to give you a break from medieval history, the decor is modern, yet opulent. We love the bright, open-plan living space, with neutral walls and stylish charcoal kitchen cabinets. Near the large windows, transparent, perspex dining chairs with chrome frames contrast beautifully against the regal purple of the sofa. And the luxurious velvet headboard in the bedroom is simply made for a peaceful slumber. In the morning, while you’ve got ancient and urban sights aplenty, there’s also a natural side to the area. Not only is your home just an eight-minute walk to the banks of the River Foss, but within an hour by car, you can lose yourself in the depths of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
