A York apartment with Minster views
Built in the 16th century as part of a row of coach houses or stables, 20 Ogleforth is a perfectly-placed city retreat with the historic streets of York on its doorstep. The lovely, light rooms have both original beams and fresh, modern touches. From the comfortable sitting and dining room, you’ll enjoy views of York Minster and a pretty neighbouring garden.
Enter the apartment at street level, where there’s private garage parking and a utility room with WC. A door leads out into an enclosed courtyard with table and chairs. Stairs lead up to the first-floor apartment, where the large landing opens into each of the two bedrooms and the family shower room. You’ll enjoy cooking in the bespoke, handmade kitchen, and relaxing in the open-plan sitting room and dining room with Minster views from the sofas and the dining table.
With all of York on your doorstep, the apartment makes a great base for exploring the city’s winding alleyways with shops, cafés, restaurants, the Castle Museum, York Art Gallery, the Theatre Royal and Jorvik Viking Centre. Treasurer’s House, the first house given to the National Trust with a collection, and its award-winning garden is nearby, and you’ll have free entry during opening hours.
Beningbrough Hall is a 20-minute drive away. The Yorkshire countryside has the gorgeous towns of Helmsley and Thirsk, and Fountains Abbey, where you’ll also have free entry during opening hours, is only 45 minutes away.
