Like this property? Maybe you'll like these ones close by too.
The bay-fronted sitting room is a great space to relax, with a homely real fire to add extra warmth on dark winter nights. Plenty of space here for the whole family to unwind.
The heart of this home is the dining kitchen, south-facing, with a pleasant view of the rear garden while cooking at the large gas range. Lots of room for family meals and dinner parties, with the appliances tucked away in a utility area extension, and a proper larder store. A downstairs lavatory sits at the end of the extension.
The south-facing rear garden is a real suntrap on summer days, a quiet private place to take your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening sun. The large garden shed has plenty of room for bikes and gardening tools etc., all hidden away behind high hedges and fencing.
Back inside, and up to the first floor where you will find two double bedrooms, one to the front with some built-in storage, and the second with a nice green outlook over the garden. The house bathroom is on this floor, with a deep claw-foot bath in which to soak away the cares of the day, and a large separate shower.
The second floor is shared by two further double bedrooms, with the larger one across the full width of the front of the house used by the current owners as their bedroom. The rear bedroom is used as a home office, but you might find the views out to the Cow and Calf Rocks and Ilkley Moor rather distracting!
When it's time to leave the comfort of Leicester Crescent and venture out, turning right at the front gate will take you very quickly to the centre of town, but turning left is even better, in a couple of minutes you'll be relaxing in beautiful Ilkley Park and Riverside Gardens at the side of the River Wharfe.
The owners say that they have no plans to leave Ilkley, the location suits them so well, with that very special balance between convenient town living whilst on the edge of the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of city centre life.
"One of our favourite ways to spend a Sunday is to pick up a sandwich from Booths, walk up to the moors for lunch looking out over Wharfedale. Then we wander to The Hermit pub above Burley for a beer before getting the train back to Ilkley. A perfect day, and so easy to do from here."
22 Leicester Crescent is a very charming home, full of character, with ample space for a couple or family to enjoy. A great home for living in the centre of this thriving town, or maybe it's a second home for you, a country town escape from city life? Call today for more information and to arrange a viewing, don't miss out!
