Main Description
We are delighted to offer this well-proportioned, two double bedroom apartment set across the second floor of this handsome, Victorian semi-detached house, which benefits from ample driveway parking and provides generous and well-balanced accommodation, very much in keeping with a modern lifestyle and successfully combining delightful, period details including stripped pine doors and exposed roof trusses with contemporary touches. The accommodation comprises as follows: A spacious reception hallway, the principal reception room with feature original fireplace and south facing, long distance views up to Ilkley Moor, bedroom one benefitting from stunning views across the valley towards Middleton, a further double bedroom, again with window affording long distance, Ilkley Moor views, a spacious, contemporary bathroom and a delightful, modern dining kitchen with views across to Middleton. The property benefits from a large, useable loft space. ‘Stourton Lea’ stands well back from the roadside, set amidst attractive, communal gardens and gravelled parking to the front, whilst to the rear there are expansive, terraced gardens with a large, flagged terrace.
A gravelled driveway with mature borders allows for parking for Apartment 3 with an additional parking space for visitors. Communal gardens to the rear are well maintained, with borders, grassed area and patio area and offer breath taking views over towards Middleton. A gate at the bottom of the garden allows you direct access onto Riverside Walk, minutes away from wonderful amenities such as Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club, the park and the Dales Way walk.
The property is entered via an attractive, wooden covered entrance portico, approached by a short flight of stone steps, with a pair of original, half wooden panelled, glazed doors opening to an inner hallway with original, Victorian, floor tiling. The post box to the three apartments is housed here. A second door opens to a carpeted staircase, giving access to Apartments 2 and 3. On the landing area is an impressive window with original, etched glass, allowing for maximum light to flood onto the communal landing, which has a useful, cupboard space.
This is an absolute gem of a home, the like of which rarely comes to market and is ideal for those who are either ‘upscaling’ or ‘downsizing’, so if you enjoy the Café society that Ilkley has to offer, commuter train services and stunning riverside walks on your doorstep, this property is ideal and an early viewing is highly recommended.
