This property occupies the end position in the block, nearest to the town centre with one flat underneath; it is separated from other properties by a spacious hallway, offering maximum privacy and convenience.

With a first-floor position and well-proportioned windows at the front and back, the flat receives morning sunlight to the bedrooms and late afternoon/evening sunlight to the front, enhanced by the large bay window to the sitting room. The outlook from the sitting room extends up to Ilkley Moor and down to the River Wharfe and both the lounge and kitchen windows offer wonderful observations of Ilkley life and people watching.

Castle Gate is predominantly owner-occupied, but other blocks in the development also feature investment/rental properties and the flats are ideal for this purpose. The bedrooms are of equal size which is unusual for this type of property and makes it an ideal home for flat sharers as well as individuals and couples.
