This ground-floor garden apartment blends Victorian character with practical town-centre living. A private entrance leads to a spacious living/dining room with high ceilings and a feature fireplace, two double bedrooms and a modern fitted kitchen — well-proportioned rooms that suit a first home or buy-to-let. The property’s enclosed rear garden and two allocated off-street parking spaces are rare and useful additions for central Ilkley living.
The flat sits in a quiet cul-de-sac a short walk from Ilkley town centre and popular schools, making daily life convenient for commuters and families. The long lease (999 years from 2012) and modest annual service charge (£500) support straightforward ownership; the freehold is held by a management company of which owners are directors. The building lies within the Ilkley conservation area, so original Victorian features are likely to be preserved.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points. The building’s stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards despite gas central heating and recent double glazing. The lease contains restrictions on pets and prohibits holiday lets, and the property sits in an area noted for above-average crime statistics. Any significant communal works are split between owners as needed.
Overall, this apartment offers a rare combination of private outdoor space, parking and period character in a central Ilkley location. It will suit first-time buyers seeking outdoor space and commuter convenience, or investors wanting a straightforward let (subject to lease restrictions). Some buyers may want to allow budget for improved insulation or cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and long-term efficiency.
