GENERAL REMARKS
It is essential that this property is viewed to fully appreciate this unique farmhouse set within highly
desirable Middleton, offering rural living with all the amenities of Ilkley only five minutes drive away.

The extended accommodation has been skillfully renovated in recent years to a particularly high
specification and includes to the ground floor a welcoming entrance hall with steps leading to the first floor and modern cloakroom / wc. A large open-plan dining kitchen occupies the central part of the property giving access to the light and airy through living room having bi-folding doors at both ends with magnificent views to the easterly aspect. To the northern end of the property is a rear vestibule giving access to the utility room and second reception room which provides a versatile space that could be used for a number of requirements, again benefitting from bi-fold doors and some splendid far-reaching views. Accessed via a short flight of stairs from the rear vestibule is the small converted barn which has an abundance of character and provides a cosy sitting room with feature fireplace and wood burning stove. This room has its own access to the outside via a stable door.

There are five double bedrooms on the first floor, the master featuring a dressing room and en-suite
bathroom. All bedrooms enjoy stunning far-reaching views and a luxury house bathroom completes the accomodation. Outside, the property sits well, within approximately one acre of grounds including large areas laid to lawn, a duck pond and secluded gravelled courtyards. The private driveway accessed through electric gates runs centrally through the garden providing access to a large, level gravelled parking area which is more than adequate to provide parking for multiple vehicles and ample space for storage sheds.

Whilst enjoying all the benefits of a rural location, the property is situated just over a mile away from the centre of Ilkley which provides an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and general amenities. Indeed Ilkley is considered an ideal base in the Wharfe valley countryside for commuters to Leeds / Bradford city centres to which regular commuter rail services are available from both Ilkley and Ben Rhydding stations. The town has a very wide range of sporting, recreational and cultural facilities and the Yorkshire Dales National Park is less than 6 miles from the town. There are
pleasant walks to be enjoyed immediately to hand from the property, as well as through the nearby famous Middleton bluebell woods. Westville House Preparatory School is also nearby
