5 bedroom detached house for sale

Built by its current owners, this distinctive home occupies a generous elevated plot on one of Ilkley’s most prestigious roads with incredible views of the cow and calf.

Extending to almost 4,000 sq ft, the property offers substantial and beautifully arranged living space together with a fully self-contained annexe, creating exceptional versatility for modern family life. Despite its peaceful setting, the house is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk from Ilkley town centre.

The principal house is arranged around a series of elegant and well-proportioned reception rooms. At its heart lies an impressive kitchen dining living space, designed as the social hub of the home and perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. This space is complemented by a
pantry, wine store and utility.

A more formal dining hall enjoys particularly striking views across the front aspect, with double doors opening directly onto the south facing garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The surrounding reception spaces include an exceptionally spacious living room and a more intimate kitchen dining living space offering a variety of settings for relaxing and entertaining.

Completing the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom. The principal reception rooms all enjoy beautiful views across the Wharfe Valley.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a generous house bathroom, creating a balanced layout for family living.

Positioned above the detached garage, the self-contained annexe provides independent accommodation arranged with its own kitchen/reception space, bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guests, multi generational living or potential income, while remaining discreetly separate from the main residence.

Externally, an extensive driveway leads to the property’s elevated position, providing parking for multiple vehicles and access to a double garage. The south facing gardens are arranged across several levels with patio areas, planted beds and two lawned areas, all designed to take full advantage of the far-reaching valley views.

There is also direct private access into the adjoining infamous bluebell woods. There is also a charming summer house and parterre herb garden. Altogether, this is a substantial and highly adaptable home, combining scale, privacy and versatility in one of Ilkley’s most sought-after locations.

We are advised the property is connected to mains water and electricity, with heating provided via a blown-air system. There are also log-fuelled fireplaces in the property.
