The Rooftop Life

The Rooftop Life: North Yorkshire

While the city of York might be known for its historic architecture, this modern apartment with its chic design and cosy furnishings will make you feel perfectly at home in the present. It is located just a fifteen-minute walk from the city centre, providing easy access to famous sites like York Minster and York Castle Museum, as well as a range of trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes. While the upstairs bedrooms each provide a sense of privacy and comfort, it is the main floor’s living room, kitchen, and diner that is the highlight. The open-plan living space elegantly combines with an ample rooftop terrace and lounge area, allowing guests to enjoy dinner and drinks alfresco.
