Apartment 1, Mill Mount House, Mill Mount, York

A truly exceptional two-bedroom ground floor apartment forming part of the prestigious Mill Mount House, a Grade II Listed building sympathetically converted into an exclusive collection of luxury residences. Offering over 1,600 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, this impressive apartment combines elegant period proportions with high-quality modern living, all within one of York’s most sought-after residential locations.

Accessed via secure gated entry into the residents’ parking area, the property benefits from one allocated parking space, with the potential to purchase an additional space by separate negotiation. An intercom-controlled entrance door opens into the well maintained communal hallway serving the apartments within the development.

Number one opens into a generous reception hallway which immediately sets the tone for the space and quality found throughout the home. The apartment has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted in keeping with its Listed status, retaining many charming period characteristics including high ceilings, oversized windows, deep skirting boards and wide doorways, all contributing to the sense of grandeur and light throughout.

A particularly unique feature of the apartment is the substantial additional storage area/wine cellar, showcasing exposed original brickwork and fitted cabinetry designed to seamlessly complement the kitchen. This versatile space is ideal for utilities, cloakroom storage, wine storage, and household items, keeping the principal living areas uncluttered.

The spacious principal bedroom is served by a stylish en suite shower room comprising a walk-in shower with glass surround, low level WC and traditional pedestal wash hand basin, all finished with neutral wall and floor tiling. The second bedroom is another generously proportioned double room with built-in storage and ample space for freestanding furniture.

The main bathroom is particularly impressive in scale and presentation, fitted with a luxurious bath set within a tiled surround, quadrant shower cubicle with chrome fittings, low level WC, bidet and twin “Jack and Jill” wash hand basins. Neutral tiling throughout enhances the timeless finish. A separate linen cupboard houses the gas-fired boiler and provides useful additional shelving and storage.

At the heart of the apartment lies the magnificent lounge diner. A truly opulent living space enjoying high ceilings, large bay window and dual-aspect natural light. Illuminated alcoves create the perfect setting for artwork and decorative displays, whilst the room comfortably accommodates both formal dining and substantial lounge furnishings.

The separate kitchen is beautifully appointed with timber wall and base cabinetry, granite work surfaces and quality integrated appliances including electric oven, microwave, electric hob with extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A large window overlooks the attractive communal grounds towards The Mount beyond.

Externally, residents enjoy access to the well-maintained communal gardens and the convenience of secure gated parking. The property’s enviable position on The Mount places York city centre within comfortable walking distance, offering easy access to the city’s renowned restaurants, shops, historic landmarks and railway station.

The Mount is widely regarded as one of York’s most prestigious and historic residential addresses. Characterised by elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture, tree-lined surroundings and a strong sense of heritage, the area provides an ideal balance between peaceful residential living and immediate access to the vibrant city centre. Nearby are highly regarded schools, independent cafés, riverside walks and convenient transport links, including York Railway Station with direct services to London, Leeds and Edinburgh.

Mill Mount House itself forms part of York’s rich architectural heritage and has been carefully converted into luxury apartments whilst preserving the character and integrity expected of a Grade II Listed building. The development successfully blends period grandeur with modern convenience, creating a unique and highly desirable residential setting within one of York’s most historic locations.
