Description
This penthouse apartment provides easy, safe living with secure parking and is arguably the best apartment within the best mill conversion in Skipton. The apartment boasts stunning views towards Embsay Crag to the North, Skipton Moor to the South East and Skipton Wharf and Town Centre nearby. The apartment's balcony overlooks the canal and a separate roof patio provides outdoor privacy. The two bedroom apartment is imaginatively planned over two floors with the potential to become a three bedroomed apartment with only a modest amount of work.
A building of historic and architectural interest, Victoria Mill was constructed in 1848 and originally operated as a corn mill. Preserving the magnificent exterior, Messrs Raven Developments of Ilkley successfully converted and refurbished the property during 1990. The interior was completely new, based on designs by the local award winning architect James Wales. This is a rare opportunity to live in a very special Grade II listed home without any of the complications or worries that a Grade II listed building can bring.
Many rooms include original features such as large limed oak beams and cast iron pillars. In addition, the large living area includes the original exposed stonework with the original outside pulley that was once used to load corn into boats, moored in the canal below.
The property is spacious and airy with light streaming in from the many large traditional sliding sash style windows. The double glazed windows pivot ingeniously so that they can be cleaned from the inside. For security, each apartment has an entry phone, high security locks and centralised fire alarm system. An eight person passenger lift serves all floors.
Voted by the Times Newspaper in 2014 as the best place to live in Britain, the historic market town of Skipton is served by extensive shopping and recreational facilities together with excellent primary and secondary schooling. The town has a real 'holiday' feel and is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales whilst the business centres of Leeds and Bradford are only a 40 minute train journey away.
