Just across the water from the city centre, this luxurious three-storey apartment comes equipped with everything you'd expect of a property of this standard, plus a few little extras. The ground floor kitchen enjoys plenty of light, courtesy of the double-height ceiling with windows on every level. Climb a small flight of stairs up to an open-plan dining area, with space for up to six people to dine in comfort. You'll also find the sitting room on this level, with an inviting corner sofa, plus a couple of single chairs that can be converted into beds if you need them. Continue through the home to find a flexible sleeping space and master bathroom on this floor, with two further bedrooms (one en-suite) on the top floor. Start each day by picking up provisions from the Pig & Pastry cafe just around the corner before crossing the river into the medieval heart of York. It'll take you a very manageable fifteen-to-twenty-minute stroll to reach the headline sights, including the famous Jorvik Viking Museum, York Minster cathedral and the shopping streets of The Shambles.

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.
