Embrace New-York-loft style in old York with this stylish studio apartment. Formerly a flour mill on the River Foss, big warehouse-style windows look out over the water and exposed brick keeps an old industrial feel. A sunny seat in the window makes for the perfect reading nook, and the pull-down, Murphy bed adds a bit of lavish ingenuity. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up a quick meal, but you’re in the very centre of York here, so you may never touch the utensils and appliances (apart from the pod coffee machine) as restaurants, pubs and cafés are all on your doorstep. This place puts you in the perfect position to explore everything historic York has to offer – the famous medieval street, The Shambles, is an eight-minute walk, the gothic splendour of York Minster is fifteen minutes on foot and the somewhat undiscovered, yet impressively preserved Merchant Adventurer’s Hall is just a five-minute stroll away.
