House For Sale £295,000
A three bed semi-detached house with two reception rooms, good sized, south facing garden and enjoying lovely, long distance views in a popular and convenient location close to excellent schools and the train station. Now in need of modernisation this is an exciting opportunity for somebody to put their own stamp on this lovely property to create a fabulous family home.
One enters, via a useful porch, into a welcoming hallway, where doors open into the spacious dining room to the front elevation, a good sized sitting room to the rear and the galley kitchen, also to the rear, overlooking the south facing garden. One could knock these two rooms together to create a lovely kitchen diner with bifolds leading out to the garden, if desired. To the first floor one finds two, great sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the three-piece house bathroom. The property enjoys a slightly elevated position, benefitting from lovely, far reaching views to the front elevation. A paved driveway provides parking for one car in front of the single garage and there is a low maintenance, mainly paved, fore garden. To the rear one finds a good sized, south facing garden with paved areas, a greenhouse and fencing and hedging maintaining privacy. This is a real sun trap, the ideal spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine in warmer months.
Ben Rhydding has good local amenities including various shops, a primary school, church and train station. The renowned Wheatley Arms Pub offers good food and hostelry. Ilkley town centre is approximately a mile away and offers more comprehensive shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities including two supermarkets, health centre, playhouse, library and boutique cinema. The town benefits from high achieving schools for all ages including Ilkley Grammar School and three sought after public schools, which are all within a short drive. There are excellent sporting and recreational facilities. Situated within the heart of the Wharfe Valley, surrounded by the famous Moors to the south and the River Wharfe to the north, Ilkley is regarded as an ideal base for the Leeds/Bradford commute. Leeds Bradford international airport is only 11 miles away.
This is a great opportunity to create a comfortable family home, ticking all the boxes for everyday living, within easy walking distance of Ben Rhydding train station and excellent primary schools.
