Forming part of a much admired terrace of period buildings, overlooking the open space of West Park and yet only a short walk from Ilkley’s comprehensive central amenities, The Rombalds was converted to a high standard in 2019 from a former hotel of the same name. It is now home to just seven luxurious apartments, enjoying an incredibly convenient and desirable setting with the added advantage of private carparking to the rear.
Apartment Two enjoys a lovely ground floor position, the unit running the full depth of the building, thus benefitting from both the light of the morning sun and views across parkland to the west. There is ready access from the living space to the exterior, with expansive terraces to both front and rear having French Doors from the Living Room and Breakfast Kitchen - the latter also having broad bi-fold doors offering excellent connectivity with the outside on a summers day.
The accommodation provides a wonderful feeling of both space and light as well as an integral sense of quality and contemporary style, emphasised by the thoughtful use of tiling by Lapicida to a number of rooms. The principal reception room offers elegant living - with generous proportions enhanced by a broad splay bay overlooking West Park. The breakfast kitchen has an excellent range of contrasting units; a substantial island unit with integrated breakfast bar and integrated appliances to suit everyday expectations. The dining room / snug sits between these principal rooms.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, both having fitted wardrobes whilst the main has its own luxury en-suite shower room off - complimenting the spacious house bathroom.
Many of central Ilkley’s comprehensive amenities are just a few hundred yards walk from the apartment, with ‘high street’ stores rubbing shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops, cafes and tea rooms. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema, the Winter Gardens and Ilkley Theatre – all of which regularly host popular performances. There are a couple of medical practices within the town as well as churches of a number of denominations.
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 stunning walks and road / mountain biking. Local clubs cater for additional pastimes such as rugby, tennis, hockey, croquet 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 daily travelling distance. From Ilkley’s central station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some nine miles distant.
The sale of Apartment Two offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a very comfortable and well appointed home in the heart of the town, anointed in the spring of 2022 as the Sunday Times’ ‘Best Place’ in which to live.
