Summerwood House is an exceptional and spacious family home, offering practical living accommodation equipped and presented to an impressively high standard, whilst discreetly positioned within Ilkley’s prime residential neighbourhood.

Constructed by Crosby Homes in 2004 the property offers first class accommodation centred around a welcoming reception hall with an oak finished staircase off. There are four principal reception rooms, three of which have French doors leading to the garden, whilst the ground floor also includes a beautifully appointed kitchen with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances and fitted units by ‘The Secret Drawer’. The kitchen is open plan to the breakfast room (which has French doors leading to a balcony) and which itself flows through to the light and airy, dual aspect family room. A utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Added versatility is provided by a lower ground floor playroom/gym – ideal for the needs of a family – and adjacent to which is the property’s integral double garage – housing the gas fired boiler and water storage, and complete with ‘dog shower’.

The first floor continues the theme of luxury accommodation – with a spacious landing providing access to the five bedrooms which includes a stunning principal suite with fitted wardrobes and contemporary luxury en-suite bathroom off. The guest suite also has fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room, whilst the three further bedrooms make use of the property’s house bathroom.

Externally there is pavior finished parking to the front of the garage, and the gardens are mostly laid to lawn but include shrub planting and borders. There is a charming decked terrace to the southern side which offers a delightful al fresco dining / seating area.

Middleton has long been regarding as Ilkley’s prime residential area, understandable so given the lovely south facing position on the banks of the River Wharfe. A short stroll from Summerwood down the adjacent leafy roads leads towards the town’s cricket and rugby clubs as well as Ilkley Lido and pool. At the foot of Clifford Avenue, crossing the old river bridge provides relatively easy access to the town’s comprehensive range of retail, social and recreational amenities. Ilkley is blessed with a highly regarded schooling system with a number of popular primary schools and well-regarded secondary school, although there is private schooling for children of all ages within comfortable daily travelling distance. Set in the heart of Wharfedale and surrounded by beautiful open countryside, Ilkley is a very practical base for the regional traveler, with business centres including Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate all within comfortable daily travelling distance – from Ilkley’s metro station there are regular services throughout the day into both local cities, from where there are onward connections to London Kings Cross.

From our office in the centre of town proceed down Brook Street, through the main traffic lights and over the river bridge. Take the first left hand turn on to Denton Road and continue ahead for around 400 yards or so before turning right on to Clifford Avenue. Proceed over the crossroads with Rupert Road and take the next left hand turn and continue for 150 yards before private roadway leading to Summerwood House and the neighbouring property will be seen to the right hand side.
