Application submitted to breathe new life into the former Mount Royale Hotel in York
We have had planning approval to convert the historic buildings of the Mount Royale Hotel in York back into two grand family homes restoring them to their former glory and house names of Daresbury and Beech Villas, in addition to this we have secured planning for two new dwellings to the walled grounds.
The planning application seeks a change of use and restoration of historical features to the Grade II listed building and will include the complete removal of the dilapidated and poor quality modern extensions at the rear and side. Improvements will also include relocation of the vehicle access from The Mount, with the gardens will landscaped to benefit the historic setting.
The property has been in the Oxtoby family’s ownership since 1967 when 119 The Mount was converted into a hotel, before it was expanded to include No. 117 The Mount in 1978. The Grand Villas were originally built in 1834 and occupied as family homes until becoming a Hotel.
