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.
