General Remarks

Constructed in the 1920s, Nesfield Court was built in a grand manor house style and thus has elegance and luxury at its core. Under recent ownership the property has undergone significant improvement having previously been in the same family for over 70 years, and now affords luxurious family accommodation equipped and presented to an impressively high standard – no better examples of this being the contemporary living kitchen and truly impressive principal bedroom suite.

Nesfield Court is entered through a welcoming reception hall, which gives a flavour of the grandeur of the accommodation on offer. To the western side a comprehensively equipped living kitchen and adjacent living room combine to create wonderful free-flowing family space enjoying access to the large outside terrace. The southern elevation also includes a delightful study along with a further family room, which again has direct garden access. The rear wing has been remodelled with a games room and adjacent snug being an ideal play, entertaining or relaxation area. Beyond is a very practical and spacious boot room, cellar access, cloaks room with integral dog shower and additional outside store.

The first floor landing once more emphasises the sheer space on offer and also provides access to four bedroom suites – the majority of which have beautiful views to the south. The main bedroom provides luxurious ensuite facilities as well as a comprehensively equipped dressing room. A lower-level landing runs through to three further double bedrooms which share a contemporary shower room and further wash facility.

Nesfield Court has a wonderful sense of arrival and welcome with substantial stone gate pillars setting the scene for the long tree-lined driveway. The house overlooks sweeping lawned gardens which provide an ideal family amenity. In addition to the gated parking court, there is a further hard landscaped area – ideal for those with space consuming hobbies and with clear potential for the erection of a stable block or similar – subject to necessary consents. There are a couple of useful stores as well as a detached double garage. There is also a paddock.

Nesfield enjoys a beautiful setting on the south facing hills of Wharfedale and is an ideal location for those seeking a home in a peaceful, rural setting with easy access to nearby Ilkley. Numerous footpaths meander through lovely countryside and onto Beamsley Moor. To the west, a mile or so distant, a footbridge crosses the river into the village of Addingham with its comprehensive range of amenities and popular pubs.

A country lane leads from Nesfield towards Ilkley, passing through the fairways of Ilkley Golf Club en route. Ilkley is renowned for its first-class shopping where ‘high street’ stores rub shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops. There are numerous dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema, theatre and The Winter Gardens which regularly host popular performances. The town is blessed with highly regarded schools, although a number of private schools for children of all ages are within comfortable daily travelling distance.
Mid Wharfedale offers some of the finest countryside in the region – the river and rugged moors provide many an opportunity for rural pursuits including challenging walks, mountain biking and road cycling. Local clubs cater for traditional sports including hockey, rugby, tennis and golf.

Beyond this wonderful setting the area 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 cites, and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford international airport is just some 12 miles from Nesfield.
