Property information

The apartment is the entire top floor of Hunter House, a listed building and the tallest in this quarter of the city, and features high ceilings, oak beams and furnished to the highest standard with high thread count hotel bed linen and fresh towels. The building is located on a site that was within the boundary of the Roman legionary fortress of York. There have been buildings on the medieval street of Goodramgate since the 12th century and although the foundations are older the upper part of the building was rebuilt for Hunter and Smallpage, a firm of furniture manufacturers in 1875.
