A BEAUTIFULLY designed apartment is coming on the market today, set in an old building at a former psychiatric hospital in the district.
The four-bedroom property is based in Clifford Drive, Menston, and is being marketed by Purple Bricks at £340,000.
It is based in Menston’s High Royds development – which was home to The Third West Riding County Lunatic Asylum, later named High Royds Hospital, and operated as a mental health facility from 1885 until it closed in 2003.
The property in question is based in the Cotterdale building, which was the boiler house for the hospital and was converted into apartments in 2013.
In the listing, the house is described as: “A stunning, four-bedroom character property offering high specification accommodation over two floors and benefiting from an attractive private garden.
“This lovely home is set within the exclusive High Royds development and includes the use of extensive communal parkland and grounds.
“There is allocated parking for two cars and a useful secure outside store room.”
It has a communal entrance leading to a private entrance hall, a spacious, modern kitchen area leading to an open plan living and dining room which features floor-to-ceiling windows fitted into the property’s original arched fronts, and French windows opening into the flat’s private garden.
Upstairs incorporates more original features of the building, with pitched ceilings and skylight windows which let copious amounts of sunlight in and four good sized bedrooms.
The master has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, two more double bedrooms and one single bedroom and a modern family bathroom.
The modest garden is hard-paved with patio and gravel areas, with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and fencing to provide privacy.
Located in the sought after area of Menston, the property has good transport links with a 20 minute train into Bradford or Leeds, good local amenities with good schools, plenty of pubs and recreational activities.
It is also a stone’s throw from Ilkley Moor, Otley Chevin and the Yorkshire Dales.
The property is live on Purple Brick today, and any interest parties are urged to get in touch as soon as possible to secure a viewing or place a bid.
