General Remarks:
This versatile family home stands towards the crest of Victoria Avenue, within the much favoured western side of town and within comfortable walking distance of both All Saints Primary School and Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club.

Approached through remote control gates, the property is entered through a lovely galleried reception hall with an elegant curving staircase leading to the first floor.

To the right hand side is a substantial living room – over thirty feet in length and including a recessed inglenook style fireplace with additional glazing and open fire. A pleasant dining room is set to the other side of the hall, whilst running across much of the rear of the house and enjoying a free flowing open plan layout is a well appointed kitchen – with high calibre units by The Secret Drawer and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances; breakfast room with direct garden access, and adjacent garden room with splay Bay having French doors leading to the outside terraces.

The whole combines to create excellent everyday living space with underfloor heating throughout the three living zones. A pair of cloakrooms, laundry and fitted study complete the ground floor accommodation.

The principal staircase leads to the galleried landing with the main bedroom to one side with a range of fitted wardrobes as well as a luxury ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, one with a private ensuite facility, and the others sharing a stylish Jack and Jill bathroom – all of the rooms have fitted furniture by Hartley's of Skipton, with the fourth bedroom currently used as a dressing room. From the landing there is access to very useful loft storage area.

A second staircase leads to a substantial room set over the double garage – this space has dormer windows overlooking the parking court as well as additional Velux roof lights and offers considerable flexibility to use as either reception/play space, office accommodation or potential to create additional bedrooms (subject to consents).

The property has the advantage of delightful sheltered gardens, centred around a level lawn with colourful flower borders and extensive shrub planting. Multiple French doors lead from the living space to a generous terrace enabling one to make the most of the garden during the summer months. Pedestrian gates to either side of the house enclose the garden, ensuring security and a safe environment for children.

The town centre is a mile or so distant from Victoria Avenue and is renowned for its first-class shopping environment where ‘High Street’ stores rub shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema, theatre and The Winter Gardens which regularly hosts popular performances. The town is blessed with highly regarded schools, with All Saints Primary School being within comfortable walking distance of the property and Ilkley Grammar School a little more distant beyond the town centre. A number of private schools for children of all ages are within daily travelling distance, many having their own transport options.

Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region - the River Wharfe and rugged moors provide many an opportunity for rural pursuits including invigorating walks, challenging mountain biking and road cycling. Local clubs cater for traditional sports such as hockey, rugby, and golf. Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club is just a few hundred yards walk away and offers excellent facilities.

Beyond this wonderful setting the town forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within commuting distance. From Ilkley station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities, and from Leeds there are numerous connections to London King’s Cross. Leeds Bradford International airport is 10 miles away.
