Clifford Road, Ilkley

Believed to date from about 1910, Woodlands House is a hugely impressive detached family home considered a particularly fine example of Arts & Crafts architecture. The property has been sympathetically improved and maintained over the years and retains much original character with bright and airy living space.

The property incorporates a spacious central hallway which leads to three principal reception rooms. A large open plan kitchen with adjoining living area and dining room flows onto the delightful rear garden. The upper floors provide five bedrooms, a bathroom and two shower rooms on the first floor. A suite of two further rooms at second floor level provides a superb 'work from home' office suite or additional bedroom accommodation.

Woodlands House stands within a magnificent level plot of about half an acre, with frontages to Clifford Road, Clifford Avenue and Rupert Road. A particular feature is the large south facing rear garden which enjoys near total privacy.
