'Atelier 22 York' is a unique, elegant and characterful lower ground self-contained apartment in our recently restored period town-house.
Ideally located in a quiet residential street 5 minutes walk from York Minster and the hustle and bustle of the city centre with its museums, fine restaurant dining and shopping. 8 minutes walk from York station.
With an eye for the unusual and attention to detail Royal College of Art graduates David and Anita have created the perfect, dreamy get-away.
Recently selected by Alistair Sawday's 'Special Places to Stay' (the first in York), this spacious apartment has been lovingly restored and styled by its artist owners and features their original artworks (paintings/lights). The apartment has solid oak flooring, antique Persian rugs and a combination of period French and contemporary designer furniture which contributes to the apartment's special character. A stunning set of French 18th century chateau doors divide the living and bedrooms and provide the 'wow factor' of this charming find.
A welcome basket of Prosecco or red or white wine, artisan made bread, preserves, muesli, organic milk, eggs, fruit juice, Betty's/Yorkshire tea and ground coffee are to be found upon arrival.
*FREE WI-FI* and *FREE OFF-STREET PARKING*.
