Description

Located in the heart of Ilkley, this south facing apartment enjoys high views over the lovely Memorial Gardens, and is only steps from the fine cafes and restaurants that line the main avenues of the town.

The glorious countryside of the Yorkshire Dales is on your doorstep, famous natural features such as Ilkley Moor, Cow and Calf Rocks, and Otley Chevin are all within easy reach. A short car journey (or a good bike ride) will take you to Malham Cove, the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and Janet's Foss, your outdoor exploration choices are endless!

The town of Ilkley is well-known for being a 'cut above', and is currently ranked by The Sunday Times as the best place to live in the North of England. As you might expect, shopping here continues those high standards, from shopping at Booths and M&S to the range of independent boutiques around Grove Promenade and Brook Street.

When you can tear yourself away from afternoon tea at Bettys, or a locally-brewed craft beer at the Ilkley Tap, then arriving home to Acorn Villas is always something to look forward to. The building is an imposing stone-built villa over four floors, step off The Grove through the front courtyard and an elegant glazed entrance porch and hallway welcome you in.

The sitting room is a great space to relax, with a contemporary gas fire to add extra warmth on dark winter nights. Attached to the sitting room is a separate area which could make a great home office or study, or maybe a snug for the kids to enjoy.

The sitting room leads into a dining area, which then opens into the kitchen. This dining kitchen has plenty of room for family meals, or for entertaining visitors, with lovely green views over the Memorial Gardens opposite. The cook or the baker of the household will love having lots of workspace and storage, and high-quality integrated appliances to use.

At the rear of the property is the principal bedroom, with large fitted wardrobes, dressing table and plenty of light from both windows and roof windows. This leads into an ensuite, with separate bath and shower, tiled beautifully in travertine.

The second double bedroom is next, again with built-in wardrobes and storage, and the house bathroom is only a few steps away across the hall.

Outside the buiding there is a pleasant communal courtyard at the front, and an allocated off-street parking place at the rear. Turning left at the front gate takes you along the Promenade to the centre, turning right will lead you down in a couple of minutes to Ilkley Park and Riverside Gardens at the side of the River Wharfe.

No.4 Acorn Villas is a very charming home, full of character, with ample space for a couple or family to enjoy. A great home for living in the centre of this thriving town, or maybe it's a second home for you, a country escape from city life? Call today for more information and to arrange a viewing, this super home is priced to sell, don't miss out!
