General Remarks
Wells House is a landmark building, prominently positioned to the south of central Ilkley on the edge of Ilkley Moor - its history dating back to when the town boomed as a fashionable spa town. The building was at one time home to Ilkley College, but at the turn of the millennium was converted into the impressive scheme that we see today - centred around the magnificent full-height atrium from where a pair of passenger lifts give access to the upper floors and basement level.

Apartment 15 enjoys a sought-after position on the second floor from where there are commanding views towards the rolling countryside and moors above Middleton and Denton.

The apartment has been subject to a comprehensive range of improvements in recent years and now provides luxurious living, ideally suited as a permanent home or to those seeking a UK base whilst living overseas. The reception hall offers a generous introduction to the property, and beyond is a large L-shaped living room incorporating a spacious sitting and more discreetly positioned dining area. To the rear is a beautifully appointed breakfast kitchen with a substantial central island unit, incorporating a breakfast bar and wine cooler. In addition, there is a twin electric oven, induction hob, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and a Quooker tap.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles and feature an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, along with stylish en-suite shower rooms. A separate study provides additional flexibility for those working from home.

The internal accommodation offered by apartment 15 is only part of the story, the residents of Wells House also have the advantage of access to delightful landscaped gardens which form a fabulous amenity. Immediately to the eastern side of the building is a large level lawn with seating areas and some magnificent views. To the South is a beautifully positioned natural lake surrounded by impressive mature trees - a haven for wildlife and a wonderful place to soak up nature and pass time.

Ilkley itself needs little introduction - the town occupying a beautiful setting in the heart of Wharfdale with ready access to some of Yorkshire's finest countryside. The town centre is home to a comprehensive range of ‘High Street’ and independent stores, whilst a broad array of restaurants, cafes, and tea rooms cater for a variety of tastes and budget. The town has excellent medical provision, whilst other social amenities include a cinema and the ever-popular Winter Gardens. Main roads connect with the region's business centres, and from Ilkley station, there are frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford - with regular onward connections to London Kings Cross.
