Castle Mills, Waterside

A fantastic two bed apartment on Waterside, one of the most sought after locations in Knaresborough. You will clearly be enticed by the lovely, calming river views, but the communal garden Island between the river confluence will likely seal it for you. In the Spring and Summer, this is an idyllic place to relax in, with just mature trees, the lovely green lawn and the sound of the flowing river to keep you company.

The character Grade II listed building itself is a Linen Mill conversion into mews homes in the 1980s. You must come and see the photographs of the original building and development stages in the secure communal foyer.

A charming, gated front courtyard with character railings welcomes you from Waterside, the road used only by walkers and residents' vehicles. There is also a rear access to the Castle Mills properties via a private pathway from the garage and parking space, which passes the flowing water of the original mill. The sound of the running water enhances the feeling of home and tranquility.

The spacious apartment, which has a secure entry phone system, is on the second floor but quite uniquely it also has not only a singe garage with parking in front, but also a large studio, workshop or storage room to the side.

The spacious living room has windows with an amazing view overlooking the river, so relaxation is assured. The contemporary kitchen has the storage and appliances you need. As an added benefit, the hallway and kitchen have had brand new flooring laid in December 2025.

The primary bedroom is a large double, with a superb, open plan en suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is a large single. Both bedrooms have quality fitted Sharps wardrobes. A large, tiled and mirrored WC is situated from the entrance hall, which could be reinstated as the original shower room should you wish.

For storage, in addition to the large garage/store room, there is a part boarded attic with fold out ladder and a deep coat closet in the hallway. Please note that there is currently no power supply to the garage or workshop.
