Property description
***BEST AND FINAL BIDS ARE INVITED BY 12PM MONDAY 12TH JANUARY 2015***A substantial and elegant Victorian terraced home offering extensive family accommodation over four floors to include three double bedrooms (two en-suite), as well as a stunning living kitchen with granite features. Sheltered low maintenance gardens to the front and rear as well as an off street parking space.
The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley enjoys a lovely setting in the heart of some of Yorkshire's most stunning countryside � a location which provides ready access to the Yorkshire Dales and the rugged moors, whilst being an ideal base for the regional business traveller. Indeed from Ilkley's town centre railway station there are frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, and an international airport is only some 12 miles drive away. Ilkley is renowned for its first class shopping and excellent social and recreational amenities. A broad choice of first class restaurants and tearooms cater for a busy social round, whilst for the more energetic there are sports clubs for a wide range of interests including golf, rugby, tennis and squash.
This elegant Victorian home dates from Ilkley's emergence as a Victorian Spa town and enjoys an incredibly convenient location just a couple of hundred yards or so off Ilkley's main shopping street � The Grove. The property has been comprehensively improved in the past and now offers undeniably impressive family accommodation with excellent living space including a pair of reception rooms, a superb lower ground floor living kitchen, and three double bedrooms � two of which have stylish en-suite facilities. The practicalities of everyday life have not been overlooked and are catered for with a ground floor utility and cloakroom as well as useful eaves storage; a walk in wardrobe; and French doors from both the living kitchen and the Family Room to the low maintenance gardens which provide sheltered amenity areas.
