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.
We're basically half way through the year, so let's see what else we've got to look forward to...spoiler alert, it's a lot.
So far we've had everything from ice bath cafes to listening bars open up in Leeds, and it seems like 2026 is the gift that keeps on giving.
Allow us to get you excited about what's coming to the city...

This Japanese restaurant serves a menu full of sushi as well as grilled meats on sticks, sharing sides and build-your-own hand rolls. All of this is wrapped up in the most gorgeous interior, which you can see from their jaw dropping new Manchester site.

The UK’s oldest nightclub is in Halifax – and now they’re campaigning for a blue plaque
Thomas Melia
An all-new fundraiser has been set up which aims to crown the UK's oldest nightclub with its very own blue plaque.
Situated in Halifax, Acapulco Club, has been providing clubbers and night out lovers with live music and entertainment for 65 years.
Alongside offering 75p drinks to any guests before 11pm and a whole host of DJs playing out beats and bangers on their mezzanine-floor decks, Acapulco has created lots of happy memories too.
This West Yorkshire cultural hub attracted lots of media attention back in 2022 when the club auctioned off pieces of its spiral carpet for just £20.
Now, this Halifax nightlife institution is giving itself a massive pat on the back by setting up a fundraiser for its very own blue plaque.
Working alongside Halifax BID and Halifax Civic Trust, this living piece of Halifax history is recognising its contributions to this West Yorkshire town and clubbing culture.
Commonly referred to as "Acca", the club prides itself on "Welcoming dancers before man landed on the Moon, before the M62 motorway transformed our region, and before colour television arrived in British homes."
The cost of a blue plaque is £650 and any excess funds that are raised will be donated to Halifax Street Angels - a local charity which works alongside the night-time economy to keep partygoers safe.
Acapulco is encouraging anyone who has visited the nightclub over its 65 year period to donate and also provide any memories or photos they have shared within this venue.
Some of the famous faces that have graced this legendary clubbing hotspot include Katie Price and her son Harvey, Joey Essex, as well as an array of Love Island and Big Brother stars.
The Acapulco Club has even welcomed 80's pop royalty courtesy of a visit from George Michael... the tribute act of course.
Anyone wanting to find out more information or make a donation to the recent fundraiser set up to honour the UK's oldest nightclub Acapulco with a blue plaque can do so HERE.
