Property description
A stylish luxury apartment, forming part of the landmark and much admired Wells House development - offering comprehensively equipped one bedroom accommodation with a delightful south facing sun terrace and use of parkland style communal grounds.
Grade II listed, Wells House dates back to Ilkley's period as one of Yorkshire's most important spa towns when the building saw use as a hydropathic hotel. At the turn of the millennium the property was acquired by Magellan Residential who have developed the site into a highly regarded community of luxury apartments.
Very much one of Ilkley's landmark properties Wells House enjoys a lovely setting on the edge of Ilkley Moor while more immediately there are magnificent communal grounds including extensive freeze, ponds and a large roof terrace to the east of the main building. As a place in which to live Ilkley has much to commend it with a comprehensive range of retail and cultural amenities being complemented by a busy social round catered for by a broad choice of restaurants and tea rooms, whilst for the more sporting minded there are a number of clubs on offer including those catering for golf, tennis and squash. The surrounding moors offer many an opportunity for beautiful walks and other rural pursuits. Ilkley is also well placed for the West Yorkshire business traveller being within comfortable driving distance of many of the region's principal towns and from Ilkley's own 'Metro' railway station there are frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford.
Apartment 25 offers undeniably stylish accommodation set to the side of the main apartment block and with its own very pleasant southerly facing sun terrace. Comprehensively equipped the well proportioned accommodation is entered through a generous reception hall which has obvious potential to form a study area. There is a magnificent living space incorporating seating and kitchen areas - and from there, there is direct access to the south facing sun terrace - a feature shared by the adjoining large double bedroom which also has a range of fitted furniture and an en-suite facility off, supplementing the house shower room.
