Renting Apartments - Apartment HOMES!

WHEN Nick and Stephanie Brown were searching for their next home they knew apartment living was for them.

But what they had in mind was something a lot more special than the carbon-copy 'boxes' they'd come across with little personality.

Through their searches in the Meltham area the couple discovered a property that came packed with the bags of charm they had desperately wanted to find.

The apartment they set their hearts on was the swish penthouse of a listed former mill building in Upper Sunny Bank Mews.

The quirky features of the old mill had been blended with a funky modern interior to create a home full of character - and the couple loved it.

Nick, valuations director for Holmfirthbased business selling specialists Amberglobe, explains: "It was very different to all the other apartments we'd looked at.

"It was laid out over three floors and had a lovely, spacious feel to it - instead of the small box-like feel you tend to get.

"We'd been searching for a while and wanted something a bit quirky and unique. We were also impressed with how the original features of the mill building were incorporated into the modern design." Set in a picturesque location, the couple's spacious apartment feels more like a house with the living space laid out over three floors.

The building is full of original features from the mill, kept when the building was converted into apartments about three years ago.

Nick says: "Running throughout the apartment we've got the ceiling beams and exposed stonework - and at the top of the building near to our flat is a big stone staircase which originally came from the mill.

"It is features like this, coupled with how well the apartment has been designed, that really sets it apart from your normal apartment." The couple looked at another apartment in the building, but for them it was the penthouse - originally the show apartment - that really had the wow factor.

One of the most impressive features is the first floor, reached by a contemporary steel and timber spiral staircase.

It has a huge open-plan living area and kitchen and has been designed to make the most of the stunning countryside views.

Nick says: "This floor is fantastic. It's got five huge windows which make the most of the views as well as really filling the place with light.

"The views were a big draw for us. The mill is more or less the last building before you get onto the moors and you can see the weather coming through the valley..

"There's nothing better than sitting with a nice glass of wine and looking out across these views." The apartment is dual aspect so every room you stand in is a great vantage point for drinking in the panoramic views.

Says Nick: "The bathroom is particularly great for this. The sunken bath looks right down onto the valley and I could just sit in there all day - luckily it's so high up nobody can look in!" For the couple, the apartment has the right mix of modern and traditional features.

The two bright, modern bedrooms on the ground floor are flanked by exposed stonework while the beams in the living area hang above a sleek kitchen with black granite worktops.

On the top floor the beamed loft doubles up as a study and storage space.

Your new apartment might not be a rustic country type as this but the idea is that people living in apartments are living their homes. Renting an apartment is a search for your new home. Be sure to work with people that know the area and can give you the best help in your search to rent the perfect apartment.
