Introduction / The Apartment

Beautiful, stylish studio apartment.  The apartment is located in the heart of Hull's historic Olde Town surrounded by cobbled lanes, listed buildings and the old warehouses of the river Hull.  As you approach the apartment you walk over the long body of the oarfish and the wriggly legs of the squid (part of the historic fish trail).

The apartment building (Cogan Chambers) was built in 1869 and is tucked away, off the street, where Exchange Court and Exchange Alley meet.  Names that evoke thoughts of an era of smugglers and traders exchanging goods and spices.  There are lovely bars and restaurants close by, the nearest of which is just a few metres away - Ye Olde White Hart pub.  This pub was built around 1550 and is home to the plotting parlour, said to be the location from which Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up parliament.  It’s a beautiful place to sit and have a few drinks in summer (flower filled beer garden) and even better in winter sat by the enormous fireplace.

The building has its own little laundry room with a commercial washing machine and dryer which are perfect for washing big loads and they do this quickly and efficiently.  The washing machine is £2 per use and the dryer is £1

Living Area

The apartment receives light from 2 very beautiful, tall, sash windows.  The windows and high ceilings are a reminder of the building’s Victorian heritage.  The original chimney breast brickwork is exposed and creates a warm feeling.  There are two low hanging pendant lights providing light to all areas of the apartment and giving a sense of the height.  

The living area is open with good, natural light and the entire apartment has recently been re-painted and is clean, fresh and elegant.

Kitchen

The kitchen is new and modern.  There is a built in fan assisted-oven and hob as well as an integrated fridge with freezer compartment.

Mezzanine Bedroom

As you climb the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom area you will find space for a double bed and plenty of railing space for clothes.

Bathrooms

There is a beautiful little bathroom just along from the chimney breast and by the stairs.  The shower is enclosed with a modern electric shower.  There is a towel heater so you can pick up a warm towel as you get out and it also adds warmth to the room as needed.  The bathroom is sympathetically designed to reflect the era of the building with beautiful Victorian style taps and floor tiles.  

Parking

The apartment doesn’t have an allocated parking space, but there is lots of street parking available and as a resident of the city centre you can apply for a parking permit (small annual fee) that allows you to park for free.  

Area

The apartment is on the Fish Trail (next to the squid and the oarfish).  Best of all you are already in Hull’s historic Olde Town quarter and just a 5 minute stroll to Trinity Indoor Market, Humber Street and the Marina area.  The bohemian Fruit Market area (Hull’s answer to New York’s Lower East Side….seriously).  The area offers a vibrant and cultural eating and drinking experience.  Everything you need is nearby including a food market, indoor market, cinema, shopping, bars, post office and many restaurants.
