The accommodation comprises a spacious reception hallway, the principal reception room, a master bedroom with feature original fireplace, stunning views and contemporary en suite shower room and a second double bedroom, again with window affording long distance, Ilkley Moor views. A contemporary bathroom and a delightful modern dining kitchen with views across to Middleton complete the picture.
