Next on our Feature Locations is the village of Menston which lies north west of Leeds city centre in the borough of Wharfedale. This picturesque and sought after area is growing in size and popularity as an area to live in West Yorkshire which is aided by its links to nearby city centres as well as the Yorkshire Dales.

Moving to Menston

Situated towards the border of West and North Yorkshire, Menston has always been a popular area to live due to its rural feel as well as its links to the nearby city centres of Leeds and Bradford. The demand for housing in Menston is proven by the recent refurbishment of the High Royds Hospital. The large site of the old hospital has been converted into a large, modern housing estate known as Highroyds Village. This development has been popular with buyers and has led to an increase in local amenities such as a new supermarket.
