Between the medieval streets and historic sights of York’s centre, this apartment is a vision of modernity. It sits just two minutes walk from the Jorvik Viking Centre and it’s a five-minute walk to the iconic medieval marketplace of The Shambles and Minster just beyond. If you fancy a brisk stroll, head to Clifford’s Tower sitting atop a hill, a five-minute walk away. Big, floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light in the open-plan living room. Leather armchairs against a shining hardwood floor add a touch of class and the kitchen area is particularly spacious thanks to a long breakfast bar. For such a central location, the bedrooms feel like little havens of calm. Just what you need at the end of the day.

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.
