An exceptionally rare Grade I listed 16th‑century house, Myddelton Lodge - West sits in a superb south‑facing position with panoramic views over Wharfedale and Ilkley Moor. The principal accommodation centres on dramatic historic rooms — a vaulted former chapel with stained glass and a palatial principal suite — set within around 5.8 acres of lawns, paddock and woodland. This is a home for buyers seeking scale, period character and privacy close to Ilkley’s amenities.
The layout offers flexible family living with seven bedrooms, multiple reception rooms (drawing room, morning room, family room), office/library and a former garage converted to a heated yoga studio. High ceilings, stone construction and original fireplaces deliver strong architectural presence and entertaining potential. Extensive driveway parking and formal gardens extend the living space outdoors.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade I listed, so alterations will be restricted and require specialist consent and likely higher repair costs. Council tax is very high and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working unless upgraded via alternative providers. The house has been restored and maintained to a high standard historically, but ongoing conservation and maintenance of a large, historic estate is a material commitment.
For the right buyer this is a distinguished family home or an investment in a historic English country house. It suits those seeking strong period character, substantial gardens and countryside access within easy reach of Ilkley, local schools and regional transport links.
