Full Details:
Situated within easy reach of Ilkley town centre, train station and schools, this is the perfect spot and enjoys stunning views to boot! Many original features have been unearthed and restored such as the exquisite, Encaustic, geometric tiling to the reception hallway floor, charming bedroom fireplaces and the magnificent staircase and balustrade that seems to organically rise up through the property like some uncoiling serpent. The lower ground floor has been transformed into a sensational living dining kitchen of most generous proportions - the true heart of this family home - with exquisite, limestone flooring, a bespoke fitted kitchen with range cooker and gigantic centre island, a log burning stove and windows and direct access to the rear garden, not to mention a separate utility and modern shower room. To the ground floor is a spacious reception hall with original, geometric, tiled flooring and broad, original staircase. The sitting room is flooded with light through the deep bay window and there is a newly fitted log burning stove and fitted colonial shutters. A second reception room gives further scope for family living and a third offers good office space. The magnificent staircase winds up to the first floor with centre runner carpet. Here you will find a calming master bedroom with deep bay window to the front elevation, affording stunning views across Wharfedale and there is a Jack and Jill en-suite. Two further spacious bedrooms are found to the rear elevation. Continuing to the second floor, the staircase balustrade turns beautifully and a large feature atrium lets natural light flood onto the landing where you will find three further bedrooms - all with stunning views and a smartly appointed bathroom. There is a generous fore garden with steps and iron railings leading up to the entrance porch. To the rear is further charming garden space accessed from the living kitchen. The property benefits from permit parking to the front and a rear lane affording further opportunity for parking (our clients have an EV charging point).
