An undeniably stylish two bedroom apartment, blending a comprehensive modern specification with the endearing character of this landmark period building. Complemented by lovely mature communal gardens and with allocated parking.
Ilkley is a thriving former Victorian spa town set in the heart of Wharfedale but ideally positioned for those who need to travel further afield - indeed from the town centre railway station there are frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford. Ilkley offers a first class shopping environment along with a busy social round, good cultural amenities and a number of sports clubs including those catering for golf, tennis, hockey and squash. The surrounding moors and the nearby Yorkshire Dales National Park offer many an opportunity for rural pursuits.

More recently the property has been subject to a high quality conversion by Valedown Ltd which has created nine apartments - indeed the standard and attention to detail being such that the conversion received a prestigious blue plaque from the Ilkley Civic Society in 2008.
Apartment 5 is located on the upper ground floor of St. John's and enjoys lovely views to the rear across communal gardens towards the hills and moors on the far side of Wharfedale. The accommodation could readily appeal to young or old alike and includes a lovely large principal reception room incorporating seating and kitchen areas and with a charming cut stone fireplace. A master bedroom suite has its own luxury en-suite shower room off, whilst the second bedroom also provides 'double' accommodation and adjoins the very impressive house bathroom. Apartment five enjoys a fresh modern specification which blends the luxuries of modern day living with the fundamental character of St. John's � the latter including some beautiful stone mullion windows. With underfloor heating, the accommodation comprises more fully:-
