Parklands, Ilkley

A well presented, three-bedroom, detached house in a highly regarded location in Ben Rhydding. This wonderful property is ideally positioned on a generous plot close to all the amenities in Ben Rhydding and within walking distance of Ilkley town centre, excellent schools and train station.

One has the possibility, subject to planning, to extend this property to create a spacious family home, (many properties on Parklands have been sympathetically extended) or simply to purchase as a charming, three-bedroom home - the choice is yours. Originally built for his own occupation, the builder of Parklands chose a special, generous plot, commanding a central location and enjoying uninterrupted, south facing views to the iconic Cow and Calf Rocks to the front elevation and benefitting from a spacious garden to the rear with long distance views towards Middleton. One enters the property through a double-glazed porch - an ideal spot to kick off shoes and boots, then on through an original door with charming, leaded side window into a good-sized hallway with original coving and picture rail with a useful cloakroom located under the stairs. A spacious sitting room has a feature brick working fireplace and a south facing, bay window commanding stunning views to the spectacular Cow and Calf and allowing the natural light to flood in. The dining room has delightful proportions with deep coving, picture rail and feature 1930s fireplace with timber surround and cast-iron fireplace. A picture window affords delightful views across the valley. A glazed, multi-panel door opens from the hallway into the recently fitted, contemporary kitchen. A door to the side of the property gives access to the garden. The charming, original staircase leads to the first floor with leaded window. The spacious master bedroom has a bay window affording natural light and the wonderful Cow and Calf views. There is a further double bedroom and a single, all served by a contemporary house bathroom. Outside, a driveway leads to the attached single garage with up and over door. This property has tremendous curb appeal with charming proportions and an area of mature garden to the front. The piece de la resistance is the large, enclosed garden to the rear with a large raised decked terrace, areas of lawn and patios all bound by mature borders. This is an absolute gem of an opportunity, the like of which rarely comes to market, so if you enjoy the Café society that Ilkley has to offer right on your doorstep, this property is just absolutely perfect and an early viewing is highly recommended.
