If you're looking to stay in the heart of this beautiful city, you could choose this unique private space right next to the Foss Bridge. A landmark building that's recently been through an extensive renovation, it's a Grade II listed former schoolhouse with all the character you could wish for. And thanks to its clever layout and contemporary styling, this little apartment for two is a pretty striking place. Walking in, you'll spot the double-height ceilings and sash windows, but also a new bedroom mezzanine with a glass wall, a spiral staircase and metal struts adding an industrial touch. Furnished with maximum comfort in mind, you'll have a comfy corner sofa to lounge on and a secondary seating area with bold yellow armchairs. There's a fully-functioning kitchen area for any cooking you'd like to do at home and a smart shower room for freshening up before a night on the town. But that's not all. Tucked away under the mezzanine there's a stunning freestanding bathtub – big enough for two. Just steps away from all the cafes, bars and restaurants you could need, it doesn't get much better than this.
