Location
Westgate Apartments is a sought-after development nestled between the River Ouse and the memorial gardens, just outside the historic walls of York centre, which provides the ultimate contemporary living experience.
The apartment building is perfectly positioned just outside the city’s historic walls and is close to York Theatre Royal, the Art Gallery, York Minster, Bettys Tea Rooms and the famous Shambles along with a range of local cafes, shops, restaurants, public houses, supermarkets and further landmark attractions.
Located beside the River Ouse is York City Rowing Club (about 0.2 mile), York Pilates Space and The Perky Peacock, a cosy café in a medieval tower. Further along is Rowntree Park (about one mile) with café, playground, tennis and basketball courts.
Across the River is the Museum Gardens, the library, the award winning The Star Inn the City by Andrew Pern and the Michelin-starred restaurant, Roots, by Tommy Banks. In addition, there is Skosh by Neil Bentinck which also boasts a Michelin-star, positioned on popular Micklegate, which is about half a mile from Westgate Apartments and has a number of independent shops, pubs, cafes and hairdressers.
The well-known York Racecourse and Knavesmire are about two miles from the city accessed by a delightful walk or cycle along the river.
About a mile away is Bishopthorpe Road which won the ‘Great British High Street of the Year’ award in 2015. The area has a well-known parade of independent shops, café-delis and restaurants which hosts regular events and festivals.
York railway station, located close to the complex offers regular services to major cities including Manchester, Edinburgh and London with some journeys taking less than two hours to Kings Cross. The A64 ring road is about three miles from the city centre giving access to Leeds, the A1(M) and the wider motorway.
The city offers a diverse range of primary and secondary schools including Scarcroft Primary School (Ofsted Good 2022), All Saints RC School (Ofsted Outstanding 2024) and Millthorpe School (Ofsted Good 2024). Independent schools on offer are The Mount, St Peter's and Bootham.
