About this property
Superb citycentre new built flat and gym
Superb first floor apartment (with lift) in this extremely impressive new eco-building of Icona 2. This flat is newly refurbished and has amazing views of York Minster. Very short walking distance to the ancient Citie and famous Shambles. Everything is brand new in this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom flat (one en suite), with a large living room with a double sofa bed and Smart TV, utility room and fully equipped modern kitchen. There is also is a state of the art gym downstairs and gardens for sundowners. No need to ever book a hotel suite again!
The apartment is entirely yours - and our front desk concierge and/or a key box will provide access depending on your arrival time.
City Gate, Layerthorpe is moments from the ancient City Walls and City Centre. A short walk to the Shambles, Minster, Clifford's Tower, the Castle Museum and River Ouse, as well as all the restaurants and olde pubs.
There is 1.5 hours unloading/packing parking in the Costa car park opposite Icona 2. Foss Islands public car park is very close and Morrisons charges £8 p/day for parking. There is also 24hr free street parking on Little Hallfield Avenue nearby and all the next streets. A map can be provided.
Uber and taxis operate everywhere in York. The 840/843 Coastliner bus stops outside the property on Layerthorpe and goes to/from York Station, the Racecourse and around central York - as well as on to the North York Moors, Whitby, Malton and Leeds. The UK's "most beautiful bus route".
An Asda supermarket is just outside. Foss Islands Retail Park round the corner has Lidl, Waitrose and Morrisons supermarkets as well as Greggs, Starbucks and much more.
