House For Sale £925,000
Very rarely do properties with such a unique blend of absolute perfection come to market. We are certain that this truly special, luxury, two bedroomed detached home will attract a tremendous amount of attention.
Firstly, the adage location, location, location couldn't apply any better here - the property is situated on a quiet road just off the highly regarded Queens Drive with Wharfe Valley views and within walking distance of Ilkley town centre and its many amenities and café society. The second highly desirable attribute is privacy; this home has a totally private aspect and aptly named Garden House, it has a wonderful, expansive 'secret' garden. Architecturally designed some twenty years ago and built from the best of hand dressed stone, this home is truly inspirational. One enters through a contemporary, solid, timber door with frosted, glazed, side panels into a spacious reception vestibule with study or third bedroom off. A hallway with solid oak flooring with zoned, underfloor heating throughout leads into the stunning living area with open vaulted ceiling with exposed roof truss and Velux roof lights allowing natural light to flood in through the floor to ceiling, double glazed windows to the front elevation, which create a wall of glass. French doors open out onto a balcony with a glass and stainless steel balcony - ideal for al fresco entertaining. The property was built on the footings of the original Thorpe Hall greenhouses and the ornate, feature, sandstone chimney has been retained. The living area opens into a dining area with dual aspect windows and luxury kitchen with a full complement of high quality, integrated appliances; this is a perfect environment in which to relax, entertain and enjoy some serious cooking. A useful area off the hallway has ample storage and leads to a luxury cloakroom. A staircase with a modern, wood and chrome balustrade leads down to a lower hallway with storage giving access to a spacious master bedroom with fully tiled, travertine en-suite shower room and patio doors opening out to the garden. A further double bedroom and luxurious en suite bathroom completes the picture. To the front of the property is an area of stone setts affording parking for two cars in front of the integral single garage with modern timber doors and there is further parking to the roadside. The true glory of this home is the private, expansive gardens laid mainly to lawn with areas of patios and pathways - ideal for relaxing or al fresco entertaining. A charming summerhouse is a further spot to sit and relax and privacy is maintained by an area of mature, specimen conifers. This home has been constructed from the highest quality of materials and is presented in truly immaculate order.
