Bright, characterful and move-in ready, this first-floor apartment blends Victorian charm with contemporary finishes. Tall sash windows and high ceilings create a sense of space, while a large lounge with bay window frames long-distance views across the Wharfe Valley. The dining kitchen is generous, fitted with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances — a sociable hub for everyday life or entertaining.
Currently configured as one bedroom plus a front study/second bedroom, the layout offers flexibility for a home office or guest room. A newly installed, traditional-style shower room and a useful utility area add modern convenience. The apartment comes with a share of the freehold and an exceptionally long lease (circa 958 years), with a modest service charge (£750pa) covering insurance and communal gardening.
Outdoor space is a genuine plus: pretty communal cottage-style gardens front and rear provide a quiet place to sit and relax. The location is central Ilkley — a short stroll to shops, cafes, schools and the train station — making this a particularly practical choice for commuters and professionals.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: parking is on-street only and no pets are permitted. The building’s period stone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern builds despite gas central heating. The area records above-average crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Overall, this is a well-presented, low-maintenance apartment offering strong lifestyle value in a desirable town setting.
