Unique property located over three floors. Dating back to Roman times, the structure offers an abundance of character.

Our client is York Archaeology who lease the space from the city council. They used it previously to display historical items of interest. They are now looking to secure a tenant for the remainder of their term. This presents an ideal opportunity for somebody to use this unique space. It would lend itself well to either some sort of retail use, particularly for arts and crafts. Other uses may be possible, although catering would be difficult due to the lack of water supply.
