Mill Mount, York, YO24 1AG

A characterful penthouse apartment with a secure private parking space, set within an exclusive gated development on The Mount. Offering over 1,300 sq ft of beautifully designed living space, a private roof terrace with far-reaching views across the city and towards York Minster, and Bishopthorpe Road quite literally on your doorstep.

“We’ve absolutely loved living here, from early morning coffees on the roof terrace to sunsets with a glass of wine and views of York Minster. The flat has beautiful light and such a calm feel throughout. Kirk House has a really warm, friendly community, and the location to Bishopthorpe Road, the station and the Knavesmire has been perfect. It’s been a safe, peaceful home that we will really miss. We’re only moving as our baby girl has arrived and we’re ready for our next chapter.”

Positioned within a striking building, this distinctive penthouse combines character, generous space and modern comfort in one of York’s most vibrant and sought-after locations.

Accessed via secure electric gates from Scarcroft Road or Mill Mount, the development feels private, calm and well maintained. The apartment sits at penthouse level and is reached via lift or stairs through elegant communal areas.

Inside, the sense of space and light is immediate. Angled ceilings and semi-circular windows create a unique architectural feel, while the layout is both practical and welcoming.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan living, kitchen and dining space extending over 9 metres. Filled with natural light, it’s a room that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. Underfloor heating and Amtico flooring run throughout, and the kitchen is finished to a high specification with quality appliances and worktops.

A separate utility room and additional storage provide valuable practicality, often hard to find in apartment living.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both bright and calm, offering flexibility for guests or home working. The bathroom is modern and well finished, with a shower over bath.

The roof terrace is a real highlight. A private outdoor space with far-reaching views across the city skyline and towards York Minster, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks.

The development also benefits from allocated secure private parking, bike storage, electric charging points and a secure parcel room.

Step outside and you’re perfectly placed for enjoying the best of York. Bishopthorpe Road, known locally as Bishy Road, is just moments away with its independent cafés, shops and restaurants including Robinsons Café, The Pig & Pastry, Flori Bakery and Melton’s. The city centre, railway station, racecourse, Knavesmire and riverside walks are all within easy reach.

This is a home that works equally well as a main residence or a lock-up-and-leave base. Stylish, low maintenance and ideally located, it offers the best of city living with a strong sense of community.
