Clock Tower, Menston, LS29 6GW

The Clock Tower at Chevin Park is one of those buildings that immediately stands apart.

Originally part of the High Royds hospital estate, the Grade II Listed building has been thoughtfully converted, preserving the character and scale of the original architecture while creating homes designed for modern life.

Apartment 42 sits on the ground floor and offers a surprisingly spacious interior, with a layout that feels both practical and well considered.

The original features remain a defining part of the home, with tall ceilings and sash windows adding a sense of proportion that is rarely found in newer apartments.

The main living space brings together the kitchen, dining and sitting areas in one open-plan setting.

The kitchen has been fitted with integrated appliances and connects naturally with the rest of the room, creating a flexible space for quiet evenings at home or entertaining guests.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room.

A separate bathroom serves the rest of the apartment, finished with a clean and contemporary design. Beyond the apartment itself, Chevin Park offers a setting unlike many residential developments.

The former hospital grounds have been transformed into a peaceful community surrounded by mature woodland, open parkland and walking routes.

Residents also have use of the restored ballroom, now a social space within the development, helping to create a genuine sense of community.

The Clock Tower also holds its own place in local history, with its distinctive design becoming one of the most recognisable parts of the Chevin Park estate.

Even the building’s original Italian mosaic flooring remains within the communal areas, featuring the Yorkshire Rose and black daisies as a reminder of the craftsmanship that went into its restoration.

The apartment comes with allocated parking for two vehicles and additional visitor spaces, while the development is also pet-friendly.

Menston village is close by, offering everyday amenities including shops, a pharmacy, doctors, restaurants and a railway station with direct links towards Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley.

Guiseley is also within easy reach, providing a wider range of shops, cafés, leisure facilities and services.

For those looking for somewhere with character, community and a little more history than a typical apartment development, the Clock Tower offers a rare opportunity to become part of one of the area's most distinctive addresses.
