Having undergone extensive renovation and remodelling, this stunning period property now provides accommodation perfectly suited to modern day living with a flexible layout that is sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers. Viewing is essential to appreciate the fabulous accommodation, gardens, views and privacy this property has to offer.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes to the ground floor an impressive and welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom, boot room and utility room off, a light and airy modern fitted dining living kitchen with views and direct access to the garden via large patio doors, a formal sitting room and separate dining room, both with delightful garden views. Also on this level, to the front of the property, there is a large family room with external double doors which has the potential for use as annex or office accommodation.
To the first floor there is an impressive master bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom of generous proportions and Juliet balcony providing elevated views over the garden, River Wharfe and countryside beyond. Also to the upper floor are a further five bedrooms of varying sizes, one of which has an ensuite shower room, as well as a modern house bathroom.
Mill Hill House is discreetly positioned behind electric gates which provide excellent levels of security and open onto a driveway providing ample off street parking and direct access to a detached garage. The generous landscaped gardens wrap around the property and offer a variety of outdoor entertainment space, seating areas, planted borders and lawn. The property title adjoins the River Wharfe and has the rare advantage of private river access with steps leading down to the riverside.
The former Victorian spa town of Ilkley is well-known for its bustling town centre with its excellent retail, recreational and social facilities including healthcare, a cinema, theatre, the popular Winter Gardens, and a colourful array of independent and ‘high street’ stores. Sports clubs cater for numerous activities including swimming, cricket, rugby and golf, whilst the beautiful surrounding countryside of Wharfedale offers many an opportunity for rural pursuits, challenging walks, mountain and road cycling.
The town is ideally placed for the commuter with frequent connections throughout the day from Ilkley’s railway station into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford. There are frequent onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross, meaning an early start in the capital is a realistic prospect. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just 10 miles away, whilst the region’s road networks also provide ready access towards Harrogate and the A1 beyond, whilst to the west the M65 can be joined at Colne.
