| This
secure first floor apartment with garage and within the City Walls is
a
recent conversion of a 19th century riverside mill. It has all the attractions
of a modem apartment but retains a traditional cottage style. All the
rooms
have feature wooden beams, even the hall. Both the lounge and bedroom enjoy
river views. The property has a four star rating from the English Tourism
Council. Three road bridges cross the river Ouse at York and we have a
one bedroom apartment just yards from the Ouse Bridge, that is the middle
one
that leads straight into the City centre, just a couple of minutes walk.
The views over the river are spectacular, especially in summer when
all
the pleasure boats are running. In the summer you can sit on the balcony
having breakfast, lunch or dinner absolutely entranced by the activity
in
front of you. |
