City Mills

City Mills was opened in October 1990, and was purpose-built to an award winning design. It overlooks the River Ouse, with wonderful views of Clifford’s Tower and Skeldergate Bridge. It is possible to walk to the city centre over Skeldergate Bridge, and the busy local shopping centres of Bishopthorpe Road and Micklegate are also within easy distances.

There are 36 self-contained flats, some with wheelchair access. Two lifts and stairs provide access to all four floors, and there is also a stair lift to outside flats. Some flats have balconies. All flats have a telephone point, television socket and central heating.

Facilities

The building is fully covered by a fire alarm system with smoke detectors in all corridors, and each flat is fitted with a fire detector.

There is some parking space for tenants.
