General Remarks:

Significantly improved by the current owners, Briarbank, offers beautifully appointed family accommodation - providing sumptuous living within a convenient and highly regarded area close to the centre of Ben Rhydding, with its everyday shops and railway station providing frequent services into the cities of Leeds and Bradford.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully extended and now provides extensive ground floor living, equipped and presented to an impressively high standard, with features including zoned underfloor heating to the kitchen/utility area, a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, and a lovely garden room which could readily suit as either a home gym or a further area within which to relax. The principal living space retains the delightful proportions of the original property - the whole combining character with contemporary style.

Impressive living continues across the upper floors, where there are up to five double bedrooms, with the dual aspect principal having a lovely ensuite shower room off, which supplements the undeniably stylish house bathroom.

From a practical perspective, the house has the advantage of double-glazed windows along with roof-level solar panels.

Ben Rhydding is very much a community in its own right, with a number of local shops, churches of a number of denominations, and a primary school - all of which within comfortable walking distance of Briarbank, so is the railway station, which links back into central Ilkley and also provides frequent services throughout the day into both Leeds and Bradford. There are regular onward connections from the former to London King's Cross.

Central Ilkley is well known for its colourful array of ‘High Street’ shops and independent stores complemented by an excellent range of social amenities including healthcare, theatre, local cinema, restaurants, cafes, and tea rooms. The local grammar school provides highly regarded secondary education, although a number of private schools are within comfortable daily traveling distance.

The sale of Briarbank offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a truly impressive home benefiting from character, style and eco features.
