Dating from 2002, Abbeyfield Court is a high quality and exclusive development of luxury retirement apartments in an exceptionally convenient setting within a short stroll of The Grove and numerous town centre amenities. The apartment, which has lift access, provides spacious accommodation including a welcoming hallway, a dual aspect sitting room with a south facing balcony, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two bedrooms and a generous shower room. A secure parking space is included with the apartment. Additional services for residents are available in Grove House, run by Abbeyfield The Dales Limited.

Ilkley is proud to be voted The Sunday Times Best Place to Live in the UK 2022, for its interesting independent shops and restaurants, its spectacular scenery and convenient rail links. The judges were impressed by sports clubs and the opportunities they offer for young people and the energetic community spirit: volunteering is a big part of life in Ilkley and the town's lovely cinema and thriving market were all launched by the local residents. Situated within the heart of the Wharfe Valley, surrounded by the famous Moors to the south and the River Wharfe to the north, Ilkley is regarded as an ideal base for the Leeds/Bradford commuter. A regular train service runs from the town to both cities.
