A beautifully presented first floor apartment within a handsome period building in the historic heart of York. With spacious interiors, views of York Minster, roof terrace and parking
Description
An exceptional apartment within the historic heart of York, with views of York Minster and private outdoor space.
Situated on Ogleforth, a peaceful residential street within the city walls and steeped in history, this elegant first floor apartment forms part of Cromwell House, a handsome period building occupying the site of the former Roman legionary barracks. The property's rich history is documented in Ogleforth, Annals of a street in York by Ian Stead, Including both hosting the city's Assemblies in the early 18th Century and a thriving paper hanging business in the 19th.
The communal entrance is both refined and welcoming, setting the tone for the apartment itself. From the central hallway, the generous kitchen/living/dining room unfolds — a beautifully proportioned space with triple recessed sash windows facing south and west. These flood the room with natural light and frame wonderful views, including the Minster’s iconic towers. The contemporary kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, streamlined worktops and a breakfast bar. A well-planned utility room and a large loft space, provides additional storage and functionality.
The principal bedroom suite is a true highlight: expansive in scale with exposed timber detailing, ample storage and a private en suite shower room with twin basins. From here, doors open onto a private roof terrace - an ideal setting for al fresco dining or evening drinks. A further double bedroom, complete with period fireplace and fitted cupboards, offers excellent guest accommodation. Completing the layout is a well-appointed family bathroom with separate shower.
Externally, the apartment enjoys the advantage of secure gated parking.
Location
Ideally placed for the historic Minster and the vibrancy and vitality of the city centre, with its array of independent shops, national brands, restaurants, coffee shops and amenities. There are two theatres, an Art Gallery and a wonderful local library within the centre. Around the corner, off Lord Mayor's Walk is York St John University.
There is 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 has a number of independent shops, pubs, cafes and hairdressers.
Located beside the river Ouse is York City Rowing Club, York Pilates Space and The Perky Peacock, a cosy café in a medieval tower. Further along is Rowntree Park with café, playground, tennis and basketball courts.
The well-known York Racecourse and Knavesmire are about over two miles from the city and can be accessed by a delightful walk or cycle along the river.
York railway station is about a mile away and 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 gives access to Leeds, the A1(M) and the wider motorway.
The city offers a diverse range of primary and secondary schools. Independent schools on offer are The Mount, St Peter's and Bootham.
