Local Area - York is an ancient Cathedral City dating back to Roman times and today is one of the most visited cities in the UK, after London and Manchester. While it's a popular tourist destination, the city itself is compact making it easy to explore all York has to offer on foot. York is known for its festivals, and indeed there are plenty of cultural events throughout the year, covering everything from history and music, to sport and food.
The major attractions in this pretty city are the York Minster, the JORVIK Viking Centre and the York Dungeon. However, if you prefer something a little milder, there are plenty of charming pubs around where you can enjoy a quiet drink!
The City boasts a wide range of museums, a newly refurbished Art Gallery and numerous theatres, music and entertainment venues both large and intimate. As you'd expect, York is also full of shops, restaurants and pubs. The closest dining area to the McCarthy & Stone development is the adjacent Micklegate where you'll find drinking holes and restaurants to cater to all tastes.
The newly refurbished Everyman Cinema on Blossom Street is a 10 minute stroll away. The best shopping is around The Shambles, an area just across the River Ouse. It's the narrowest street in all of York and where you'll find everything from high street fashion to little knick-knacks and souvenirs.
Hallway - Front door with spy hole leads to the large entrance hall with illuminated light switches, smoke detector, apartment security door entry system with intercom and the 24-hour Tunstall emergency response pull cord system. From the hallway there is a door to a utility room housing plumbing for a washing machine and storage space; and a further walk-in storage cupboard. Further doors lead to the living room, bedrooms and bathroom.
Lounge - A spacious lounge with Juliet balcony overlooking the secluded communal gardens. There is an electric log effect fire with surround which creates an attractive focal point to the room, ample space for dining, TV and telephone points, two ceiling lights, fitted carpets and raised electric power sockets. A partially glazed door leads into the kitchen.
Kitchen - Fully fitted kitchen with a range of modern high gloss low and eye level units and drawers with a roll top work surface. A Stainless steel sink and drainer unit with mono lever tap sits beneath a double glazed window overlooking the development. Appliances include a built-in raised level oven and microwave; ceramic hob with extractor hood and fitted integrated fridge and freezer. Finished with tiled flooring, central ceiling spotlights and under pelmet lighting.
Bedroom One - This large double bedroom overlooks the gardens and has a central ceiling light, TV phone point, fitted carpets and raised electric power sockets. The bedroom benefits from an extremely large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room which houses shelving, hanging rails, has a window and offers plenty of storage space but could also be used as a study.
