York-based property developer Helmsley Group has completed 48 one-bed apartments, boosting residential and rental availability in York.

The Luna residential development, located on Fifth Avenue, near Tang Hall Lane, has been created by converting the former Cherry Tree House care facility which closed in late 2020, following a strategic property review by the NHS. 

The Helmsley Group says Luna is proving popular with residential buyers and buy to let investors, with it located within walking distance of the city centre and it having private parking, individual gardens and superfast hyperoptic broadband.

Continuing what Helmsley says is it’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, each apartment has secure under-cover bike storage, as well as access to parking spaces equipped with EV charging points. Tenants will can also use the nearby national cycle path to encourage less car use.
