Housed in a converted granary once used by corn merchants Hurtley Dickinsons & Sons in the 1800s, this beautiful home may be steeped in history but its interiors are nothing short of modern luxury. From the beautiful engineered oak flooring to the contemporary-chic furnishings and luxe details (like 500 thread count bedding, a 65-inch TV with 180+ digital channels and Neff and Bosch appliances), this home has been lovingly curated to give you a stylish, comfortable stay. Pour yourself a welcome gin and tonic and make yourself comfortable on the living room’s plush sofas as you look out onto views of nearby York Minster. These privileged views are enjoyed from every room in the apartment – not least of all the stunning bedrooms. With two sleek porcelain-tiled showers – one of which is an en-suite – offering rainfall showers and heated mirrors, you’ve got everything you need to experience the city in sumptuous fashion. When it comes to exploring, you couldn’t be better placed either. Explore the historic Shambles (a three-minute walk), stroll along the York City Walls (a five-minute walk), and visit York Minster up close, just seven minutes away on foot. With plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés nearby too, there’s no end to the enjoyment in store.
