House For Sale £485,000
High Royds Fold, Menston, Ilkley LS29


Description
Shhhh! Can you keep a secret? Harrison Robinson is delighted to offer probably one of the most charming, three-bedroom character homes in Menston. Forming part of the highly regarded High Royds Grade II listed Clock Tower development, this former waiting room has been architecturally re-modelled. The word ‘idyllic’ is often overused and exaggerated in describing a property and location, but not in this case!

Located in a quiet courtyard location, this immaculately presented, Victorian detached property would not look out of place in London’s fashionable Chelsea.
Firstly, the rooms and proportions are now perfect for modern family living, ticking all the boxes for today’s discerning buyers with truly ‘on-point, ’ contemporary styling. This property is presented in immaculate order throughout and an early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
It would be unfair to say this property has had just a ‘makeover’, one would normally reserve that description for Laurence Llewelyn Bowen to breeze up in a White mgb convertible, sporting his customary, loud, Harris Tweed jacket and flamboyant, Paisley, silk handkerchief, to present some TV programme or other and with a flick of his hair he is gone. Absolutely not the case here; this home has been re-styled and created with a tremendous amount of thought. Everything has been greatly considered to create a most stunning, home where only the best will do. Armed with the latest colour palette, this home has soft relaxing tones, with one or two highlights throughout. One is immediately immersed in the quiet and privacy that this location has to offer, yet reassured that it lies so close to Menston village with its many amenities and train station.
The property is an absolute gem, one enters through a heavy timber door into a bright and spacious hallway, where parquet style ‘Amtico’ flooring reflects the work of a modern craftsman and is the perfect foil for kicking off muddy shoes and boots after a long walk through the 200 acres that the private estate offers. Following through into the truly bright and airy living area, only to be amazed at the 7.5m vaulted ceiling and the mullioned Georgian style windows, fitted with new timber sash frames, having Colonial style shutters which control how much natural light floods into the room and maintains privacy. The kitchen area is divided from the living space with large grey porcelain gloss tiles, cool underfoot in the summer but benefitting from underfloor heating in winter. The grey kitchen offers a minimalist atmosphere yet houses a full complement of top end appliances. The sitting area boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof beams and trusses, a mezzanine gallery amplifies the feeling of space. The ground floor master bedroom has aspects over the courtyard and contemporary, mirrored fitted wardrobes. The ensuite shower room follows in the stylish feel with a high-end designer suite. A contemporary cloakroom completes the ground floor.
This property just keeps giving, as one climbs the carpeted stairs, one finds the bright and spacious landing. Light floods in through Velux windows and there is ample space for a small desk. A balustrade offers aspects over the living area. There are two spacious double bedrooms, both with Velux windows benefiting from solar powered black out blinds. These are served by a stunning house bathroom. Additionally, there is a stone store attached to the side of the property, ideal for bikes, tools and all the family paraphernalia.
Externally, the property benefits from two privately owned parking spaces, garden beds with mature planting and courtyard where our clients often sit out with a glass of what they fancy. The property benefits from the use of the 200 acre grounds, ancient woodland, large wildlife pond, tennis courts and the revamped original Clock Tower ballroom. This is a truly stunning location.
This beautifully presented accommodation, with gas fired central heating & timber sash double glazing, underfloor heating, nest heating control and high-end Buster & Punch switches/dimmers/usb sockets with approximate room sizes comprises.
