Set in this very desirable residential location close to Ilkley Moor and backing onto Ben Rhydding Golf Course is this detached family home that is now in need of extensive renovation, provides the ideal opportunity for anybody wishing to finish a home to their own requirements. The property sits within a very large private garden with a southerly aspect to the rear.

To the ground floor is an entrance hall leading down to a cloakroom WC, house bathroom, and second reception room or additional bedroom space. There is also a very large open plan living dining kitchen space with access to a utility room, integral double garage and useful pantry cupboard. To the first floor are three double bedrooms.

Set towards the eastern side of Ilkley, Ben Rhydding is a long established and justifiably popular neighbourhood providing a highly desirable living environment thanks in part to its excellent choice of local amenities which include every day shops, popular pub/restaurant, primary school and 'metro' railway station which provides frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford and into the main body of town. Ilkley's centre is just a mile or so distant and is home to first class shopping, a busy social round and comprehensive community amenities. Ilkley also boasts excellent sporting amenities with facilities catering for a wide variety of interests - from rugby and football to squash, tennis and swimming. Families are particularly attracted to the town by the schooling system, with popular primaries catering for youngsters and Ilkley's highly regarded Grammar School. Surrounded by some of Wharfedale's most beautiful countryside, yet within comfortable daily travelling distance of many of the region's business centres Ilkley remains one of Yorkshire's most sought after towns.
