Lodge Hill, Ilkley, LS29

Positioned above the River Wharfe within Ilkley's highly regarded Myddleton area, Lodge Hill is a substantial five bedroom detached residence offering exceptional versatility, uninterrupted views towards Ilkley Moor and a beautifully appointed two bedroom annexe with its own private driveway and landscaped garden. A protective covenant further safeguards the remarkable outlook for generations to come.

A generous reception hall with oak flooring immediately conveys the scale and flexibility of the home, linking effortlessly to the principal reception spaces and annexe accommodation. At the heart of the property is an outstanding dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed for both family living and entertaining. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances is complemented by a large central island with seating for five, underfloor heating and extensive glazing that floods the room with natural light while framing far reaching Ilkley Moor views. Doors open directly onto the gardens, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

Adjoining the kitchen is a practical boot room and utility room with direct garden access, ideal for family life and kicking off muddy boots after a countryside walk.

Concertina doors lead through to a welcoming snug centred around a multi fuel stove. With double doors opening onto the terrace gardens, again linking the inside with the outside. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a study, cloakroom and an elegant reception room with gas fireplace overlooking a pergola seating area.

A particularly impressive feature is the wellness suite, incorporating a sauna, shower room, WC and a substantial gym and leisure space with vaulted ceilings, skylights and three sets of patio doors opening onto the gardens. Previously configured as an indoor swimming pool, the infrastructure remains in place should a future owner wish to reinstate it. Integrated surround sound and space for a hot tub further enhance the lifestyle appeal.

The principal bedroom has sliding doors opening onto a large private balcony positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views towards Ilkley Moor. This is a superb area to watch the sun rise and set. This principal bedroom has an en suite shower room.

Two further first-floor double bedrooms each benefit from Juliet balconies and attractive outlooks, served by a contemporary house bathroom with separate bath and shower.

The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, ideal for older children or guests.

The detached annexe is exceptionally well suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or ancillary income potential. It includes a ground floor double bedroom and bathroom, ideal for a dependent relative, together with a first-floor lounge/diner, kitchen, utility area, second double bedroom and balcony enjoying open views. There is also a gated driveway and private garden, making this annex superbly independent.

The landscaped gardens wrap securely around the property, offering extensive lawns, entertaining terraces, vegetable gardens, an orchard and mature planting. A detached insulated garden office with wired WiFi and water supply provides excellent home working space.

Further features include solar panels, 500 Mbps broadband, comprehensive WiFi coverage and alarm systems serving both the main house and annexe.

Lodge Hill enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient setting within walking distance of Ilkley's excellent sporting facilities, riverside walks and town centre amenities, combining privacy, flexibility and an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of the area's most desirable locations.
