7 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Ilkley, LS29 9RA £2,500,000

Lower Ground Floor: the staircase descends from the cloakroom with access to a Store Room/Wine Cellar and adjacent Gym/Hobbies Room.

Outside: Amblethorpe is approached off Panorama Drive by a tarmacadam driveway offering parking and access to the former coach house positioned on the western boundary. This building has clear potential for conversion and enhancement (subject to consents), and currently provides a single garage, open carport, workshop, fuel store, gardener's WC and attic storage. Second driveway offering additional parking.

The gardens are set to the southern side of Amblethorpe and provide a fantastic family amenity – with an expansive central lawn overlooked by a gravelled terrace adjacent to the house – ideal for alfresco dining. There is extensive shrub planting to the borders along with mature trees, meaning Amblethorpe enjoys a high degree of privacy irrespective of the property's stunning location on the very edge of Ilkley Moor, which can be accessed by a pedestrian gateway from the foot of the garden.

Ilkley’s town centre, with its comprehensive range of retail and social amenities, is only a mile or so distant from Amblethorpe. The former Victorian spa town, recently voted the UK’s best place to live in the North of England by The Sunday Times(spring 2025), provides a broad mix of high street and colourful independent stores, as well as an excellent choice of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms.

There are sports clubs catering for a huge variety of interests including bowling, rugby, cricket, hockey, golf and The Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club, which has recently added Padel facilities and hosts an international Challenger Tournament on its thirteen grass courts. Almost all clubs actively welcome both adults and younger age participants, amplifying the family focussed nature of Ilkley. The community is home to the popular Winter Gardens along with a couple of supermarkets and even a local independent cinema. On the northern side of The Wharfe one will find the town's pool and delightful listed Lido.

The surrounding countryside and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for rural pursuits including challenging walks, road and mountain biking. For the commuter there are excellent links
into the region’s business centres including Leeds, Harrogate and Bradford. From Ilkley train station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities, with regular connections from Leeds to London King's Cross, meaning an early start in the nation's capital is a feasible, if occasional, option. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some 11 miles distant from the property.
