Station Road, Burley in Wharfedale, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29

A wonderful character home offering beautifully appointed and extended accommodation set within attractive gardens in this central village location only a few minutes’ walk from the many amenities on offer including local schools and the train station.

This wonderful period property must be viewed to fully appreciate the stylish presentation along with the many period features including high ceilings, cornicing, original fireplaces and deep skirtings.

The wealth of accommodation provided is set over three floors and includes, to the ground floor, a vestibule opening to a grand, welcoming entrance hall with oak flooring and staircase to the first floor, formal lounge with large bay window and feature fireplace housing a glass fronted wood burner and original alcove display cabinet.

A further sitting room is at the rear of the property, also with an original fireplace housing a stove and an original door leading out to the rear garden.

The contemporary kitchen, which has an abundance of high gloss units, also has a useful high level central island with seating below. Integrated appliances include a gas range style oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is a utility room with a cloaks area and a separate WC with generous storage cupboards.

At the rear of the ground floor is a generous sized dining room with double doors leading out to the garden. A vaulted ceiling with three Velux windows makes this a lovely light and airy space for entertaining.

On the first floor the landing area gives access to the master bedroom which enjoys a range of fitted wardrobes and cupboards and has a superb recently installed and generously proportioned en-suite bathroom (potential to reinstate this as a fifth bedroom).

The contemporary house bathroom has a four piece suite including a separate shower enclosure, and there is a further large double bedroom with feature fireplace.

To the second floor there are two bedrooms, one of which would serve well as a home office. There is access on the same level to the very useful attic storage room.

Outside, at the front of the property, the gated driveway provides parking for a number of cars and there is a low maintenance garden enclosed by mature shrubs and bushes. At the rear of the property is an enclosed garden which is laid to lawn with well stocked borders and a generous paved seating area.

The house enjoys a very desirable location in the heart of Burley, within convenient walking distance of the local primary schools, railway station and shops. Burley in Wharfedale occupies a delightful setting in the heart of open countryside, roughly midway between the local towns of Ilkley and Otley and readily accessible to the River Wharfe and rugged moors. The village retains a strong sense of community with local shops, popular primary schools, a choice of pubs/restaurants, and even a ‘metro’ railway station from where there are frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some 7 miles or so distant.

From the Dacre, Son & Hartley Burley office, proceed up Station Road towards the train station. The property will be found on the right hand side.
