General Remarks:
With an early twentieth century heritage, Brentwood dates from the initial stages of the development of Middleton, with period details reflecting the desire for space and light from those times. The house has been significantly upgraded over the years and now offers what is arguably an ideal family home, with spacious and well-balanced ground floor living being complemented by excellent bedroom accommodation which includes a lovely principal suite with both a contemporary shower room and walk-in dressing room. The upper floor also has a charming study – ideal for those working from home.

Externally the grounds make the most of the elevated southerly facing position. Tiered to take full advantage of the sun, with expansive terraces forming spacious areas within which to relax or play. This lovely setting is only a short walk away from Ilkley’s Old Bridge which provides a convenient link to the riverside parks and town centre beyond.

Gill Bank Road has long been regarded as one of Ilkley’s most desirable residential addresses, providing an endearing mix of architectural styles within a mature and lovely south facing setting. This side of the river is home to the town’s golf, rugby and cricket clubs and also the famous Art Deco Lido.

The town centre is a mile or so distant from Brentwood and is renowned for its first-class shopping 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 host popular performances. The town is blessed with highly regarded schools, although a number of private schools for children of all ages are within comfortable travelling distance.

Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region - the River Wharfe and rugged moors offering 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, tennis and golf.

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 comfortable commuting distance. From Ilkley station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities, and from Leeds there are connections to London King’s Cross throughout the day. Leeds Bradford International airport is 10 miles away.
