Originally transformed from the historic High Royds estate which forms part of the highly regarded High Royds (Chevin Park) development. Residents enjoy an enviable lifestyle with scenic woodland walks, ornamental ponds, mature trees and an abundance of green space quite literally on the doorstep.

High Royds is one of the area's most prestigious residential developments, occupying approximately 200 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland on the edge of the sought-after village of Menston.

Whether enjoying an evening stroll around the landscaped grounds, walking the nearby woodland trails or simply appreciating the peaceful setting, High Royds offers a lifestyle that is rarely found within such easy reach of excellent transport links.

Menston itself is a thriving and highly desirable village offering a range of everyday amenities including local shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, highly regarded schools and leisure facilities.

The village railway station is approximately 0.8 miles (around a 15-minute walk) from the property and provides regular services to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, making this an excellent choice for commuters. The nearby A65 also offers convenient road links, whilst the stunning Yorkshire countryside and the Yorkshire Dales National Park are just a short drive away.

Additional Information - Tenure: Leasehold (999-year lease from 1 January 2006).

Service Charge: £2,817.60 per annum, payable monthly in instalments of £234.80.

Ground Rent: £733.26 per annum, payable in two six-monthly instalments of £366.63. The next ground rent review is due in January 2036, with no increase due before then.

Agents Note:

The current ground rent is £733.26 per annum, with both instalments for the current period having already been paid by the vendor (the next payment is not due until early 2027). Furthermore, the Government has recently announced a draft Bill to cap existing ground rents at a maximum of £250 per annum. This is expected to come into force well before the next scheduled review in 2036, meaning this cost is anticipated to reduce significantly for the new owner.
