Fancy a look inside this incredible historic mansion that was once a hospital in the heart of Chapel Allerton?
Silly question, of course you do.
The only thing is, you'll need a spare £1 million before you can call it your own...but it doesn't hurt to have a look, does it?
Take a look behind the grand front door of what is, by far, one of the finest properties the Leeds housing market has to offer at the moment.

This is The Hall inside Mansion House.
Located in the heart of Chapel Allerton, this huge house formerly known as Gledhow Grove Mansion was built in the 1830s by mill owner John Hives.
For years it was a beautiful regency property up until the 20th century where it took on a completely new purpose as Chapel Allerton Hospital.

Not only that but during WWII, the cellars which still remain today were used as bomb shelters.
But enough about the olden days, The Mansion now consists of three houses and three apartments and The Hall, that's on sale no, is the middle and most striking section.
Consisting of 3,756 sq ft, The Hall features four bedrooms and four bathrooms...one of which includes a sauna.

The interior is nothing short of breathtaking, with the previous owners ensuring all the original features were restored and enhanced throughout.
We're talking all of the good stuff - beautiful arched windows, detailed ceilings, solid oak flooring and a staircase fit enough for the cast of Bridgerton to walk down.
The kitchen is kitted out with everything fit for a Michelin-starred chef with quartz worktops, a Rangemaster and bespoke built-in appliances.

Estate agents describe the master suite as a true 'knock-out' with a view of Leeds City Centre that is 'beautiful at al hours'.
And it wouldn't be a £1 million home without a cinema room, so you'll of course find one on the lower ground floor alongside a double bedroom and en-suite shower room.
Doesn't sound half bad does it?
The Hall at Mansion House is currently on the market with North Residential for a whopping £1 million, and if you fancy taking a closer look, then you can contact the property company to arrange a viewing.
Or you could just take the cheaper route instead and have a nosey at the Rightmove link here.
It's been a very busy start to 2026 so far this year in Leeds, and we're definitely not complaining.
It's safe to say our city is thriving, we've welcomed everything from shops and Italian cafes to tequila bars in just two months.
In case you've missed any of them, allow us to give you the lowdown of what's new in the city.
So, without further ado...
Salon Madre
Wellington Street, Leeds city centre

Leeds welcomed its newest late-night destination last Friday, and it’s going down as smoothly as its tequila. Salon Madre is a Mexican-inspired bar with a dedicated margarita menu, fabulous food, and an atmosphere that’ll make you want to get up dancing almost immediately. And if you fancy unleashing your competitive side, then there’s plenty of pool tables ready and waiting to be played.
A slice of Puglia has landed over in Pudsey with this fabulous Italian cafe. Nodding to his hometown of Puglia, Fabio has created the Italian experience right here in Leeds, inviting people to swing by for Italian coffee, homemade pizza slices, as well as gelato by the cone (or tub) full.
Topshop

One for the girlies… because Topshop is officially BACK in Leeds. The iconic high-street favourite has returned, taking over a dedicated space inside John Lewis inside Victoria Gate and yes, we’re already planning the outfit rotations. After Topshop and Topman disappeared from the high street back in 2021, it’s safe to say we’ve all felt the gap in our wardrobes. And of course… Joni jeans, we’ve missed you dearly.
Pollini's Pizza

These guys are known for dishing out huge New York-style pizza slices for less than £4 in Leeds Kirkgate Market since 2022. And now with a second site in Leeds, the big boy slices are making their way across the city, from classic margaritas to meat feasts.
And you best believe we were the first people down to grab it, because we can’t resist a slice from Pollini's.
Pop Mart
Briggate, Leeds city centre

Pop Mart officially opened on Briggate in January, and Leeds turned out in full force with queues stretching all the way down Thornton’s Arcade. With endless blind boxes to choose from, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a Labubu girlie or obsessed with the Crybaby series, you can now get your favourites right here in Leeds.
