Aysgarth Court, Menston

Perched proudly at the very top of this striking Grade II listed building, the penthouse is a home that makes an impression the moment you step inside. Every inch of it speaks to scale, light, and character – from the remarkably high ceilings that enhance the sense of space, to the grand windows that invite in swathes of natural light and frame picture-perfect views of the estate’s landscaped lawns and mature trees.

The open plan living area is the undeniable heart of the home – vast, inviting, and designed for both relaxed evenings and lively gatherings. The kitchen, with its integrated appliances and stylish breakfast bar, sits perfectly positioned so you can chat with guests while preparing food, while the generous dining and lounge spaces are bathed in daylight from the dual-aspect windows. The feeling is one of openness and ease, with every corner offering a different view of the beautiful grounds.

The mezzanine master suite is a standout feature – tucked away above the main living space yet open enough to feel connected. From here, you can look down over the room below, appreciating its scale from a new perspective. The master bedroom itself offers a peaceful retreat, complete with built-in storage and a private en-suite shower room.

The two additional double bedrooms are versatile and generously proportioned, ideal for guests, family, or a dedicated home office. Each is light-filled and welcoming, continuing the apartment’s sense of openness.

With its blend of period charm and modern comfort, the penthouse offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the grandeur of a historic building with the convenience of contemporary living – complemented by two allocated parking spaces and the unmatched surroundings of the High Royds Estate.

Set within the prestigious High Royds Estate in Menston, this apartment enjoys not only a remarkable home but also an enviable location. The estate itself is surrounded by approximately 200 acres of manicured parkland and mature woodland, offering an abundance of walks, bridleways and cycle paths right on your doorstep. Whether it’s a peaceful morning stroll around the pond, a jog through the tree-lined avenues, or a weekend tennis match on the private courts, the grounds provide an idyllic escape from the bustle of daily life.

The charming village of Menston is just a short walk away, with its friendly community atmosphere, local shops, cafés and pubs. You’ll find a welcoming high street for day-to-day essentials, alongside cosy spots for a weekend coffee or evening meal. For a livelier scene, the nearby town of Guiseley offers a broader choice of restaurants, shops and leisure facilities, all within a few minutes’ drive.

Families will appreciate the highly regarded local schools, with both primary and secondary education options rated favourably by Ofsted. Menston Primary School and St. Mary’s Menston Catholic Voluntary Academy are both within easy reach, making school runs simple and stress-free.

Commuters are equally well-catered for. Menston Railway Station is less than a mile from your door, providing regular direct services to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, placing the surrounding business hubs of both North and West Yorkshire within comfortable daily reach. For those travelling further afield, Leeds Bradford Airport is around a 15-minute drive.

The surrounding countryside is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. From the rolling landscapes of Ilkley Moor to the scenic trails along the River Wharfe, there is no shortage of weekend adventures. Combine this with the estate’s own green spaces, and you have a rare blend of rural beauty and modern convenience – all wrapped up in one of Yorkshire’s most desirable addresses.
