Apartment 20, a penthouse at the magnificent Moreby Hall Mansion house is truly one of the best apartments we have seen come to the rental market this year. Offering an unrivalled curb appeal, magnificent internal entrance hall and an exceptional quality finish throughout this is a 'one off'. On top of all this you can enjoy the Mansions stunning grounds (circa 12 acres) including river frontage with fishing rights. Probably the most scenic apartment in York and yet just a short commute to York centre and all commuter routes.
This unique property has been painstakingly renovated forming part of the Grade II* Listed Mansion House which is an exquisite collection of just 11 beautifully crafted properties and loft style apartments. This is luxury living in a private setting at its very finest.
Enter to the Mansion House via a long winding drive taking you through parkland gardens where you will no doubt meet the resident sheep and much other wildlife. There are then two designated parking bays to this apartment directly outside the main entrance and there is ample visitor space on top such a far cry from the parking issues in the town centre!
On entry to the mansion you will be blown away by what has to be one of the finest entrance lobbies in the region. It is breathtaking and needs to the appreciated in person. There is then a very cool glass elevator which offers access directly to your floor. Exiting the lift you will realise there are just two penthouse apartments accessed on this stop, it is certainly not the corridor of flats you may have been living in!
Enter into the apartment and meet a world of modern day living intertwined with sensational character with overhead beams and exposed brickwork, it is functional and truly stunning. We love the soft carpets your feet sink into and the quality chevron flooring to the kitchen and living spaces. Everything simply works so well together.
The kitchen/dining/living space is all open plan and a huge footprint for an apartment. There are vaulted ceilings in parts which are truly eye catching. For the chefs amongst you a wonderful kitchen with good quality modern appliances, plenty of storage in the bespoke units, and easy to clean work surfaces. Of course it has the beautiful kitchen island which everyone wants including a breakfast bar seating area.
The two double bedrooms are set either side of the apartment which is a nice touch offering privacy to both. The principle is massive! A huge bedroom footprint which will take any bed size and plenty of storage. Again one cannot help compare the value and quality for money over a town house apartment. The principle boasts a beautiful en suite with stunning modern tiling, a walk in shower and a bath tub. The views from the bedroom are incredible, you have to come and see for yourself. To wake up to views of nature, the river, the stunning grounds, the sun rising must be the best possible to start to a day. The second bedroom continues to impress again, a double and serviced by the house bathroom located close by.
To the outside, there are 2 designated car parking spaces, EV charging point and 12 acres of stunning managed parkland and of course river frontage with fishing opportunities!
This home is highly energy efficient powered by Dakin Air Source Heat Pump Systems and the heating system has been independently designed and certified by a leading provider to insure they are low carbon energy efficient systems. The apartment is warm and cosy and very tasteful.
