One Bedroom Apartment

Your Own Rooftop Escape in the Heart of York

A stylish third-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private roof terrace

Perched at the top of a Georgian townhouse, this light-filled apartment comes with something few city-centre stays can offer: a private rooftop terrace with sweeping views across York’s historic skyline. Chimney pots, clock towers and rooftops stretch out in every direction — the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine under the stars.

The Living Room: With a Skyline View

Bathed in natural light from a large sash window, the open-plan living area is as practical as it is inviting. A sleek, shaker-style kitchen comes fully equipped for cooking up something simple or special, while the plush blue sofa is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. A round dining table offers a cosy spot for breakfast, and glazed doors lead straight out onto your own slice of the sky.

The Roof Terrace: The Real Showstopper

Step outside and the city unfolds before you — a rare treat in the middle of York. Furnished with comfortable wicker seating and a side table, it’s made for lazy mornings, golden-hour drinks, or simply taking in the view.

The Bedroom: Sleep Above It All

Tucked under the eaves at the top of the house, the bedroom is a peaceful retreat with the same soft, calming palette found throughout the apartment. Sloped ceilings and a dormer window add real character, while a leafy patterned blind filters the light beautifully. It’s a quiet, restful space to return to after a day of sightseeing.

The Shower Room

Tucked neatly under the eaves, the shower room is compact but beautifully finished, with brushed brass fittings, a smart vanity unit and a glass-screened shower — a touch of boutique-hotel style in a cosy space.
