Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Ilkley, LS29 :

A generously proportioned and well appointed two bedroom first floor apartment enjoying a south and westerly orientation within a landmark Grade II listed Victorian villa. Lift access, allocated parking and some lovely views.

Thorpe Hall was built in 1881 as a family residence for George Thorpe � a successful Bradford businessman originally from Pateley Bridge. Designed by architects T C Hope & Son, the building retains the grandeur and proportions that were originally envisaged and are so typical of the mid Victorian era. Thorpe Hall stands towards the southern side of Ilkley, approached through imposing remote control gates off the tree lined Queens Drive � just a short walk from St Margaret's Church and the famous moor. Thorpe Hall was comprehensibly refurbished in 2004 and now provides just nine high calibre homes blending the style of the past with the expectations of modern day living.

Apartment 8 is positioned on the first floor of the building and enjoys both staircase and lift access from the communal entrance areas. The accommodation offers surprisingly well proportioned two bedroom accommodation and benefits from a comprehensive specification including a broad range of integrated appliances to the dining kitchen; a utility room; characterful principal reception room; and stylish en-suite shower room off the master double bedroom. There are some lovely views too � particularly to the rear where there are stunning aspects across Ilkley towards the hills and moorland that line the Wharfe Valley.

Ilkley is unquestionably one of the North of England's most highly regarded communities, occupying a beautiful setting amidst the unspoilt open countryside of Wharfedale and just a short drive from the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Duke of Devonshire's Bolton Abbey estate. The town is ideally positioned for the North and West Yorkshire business traveller with ready access to the East Lancashire conurbation too. From the town centre railway station there are frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross. Leeds / Bradford International Airport is only some twelve miles or so distant. Ilkley provides a first class shopping environment along with an excellent choice of restaurants, wine bars and tea rooms. Sports clubs serve a broad range of interests, whilst the surrounding countryside and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for rural pursuits.
