4 bedroom detached house

Presented and equipped to an impressively high standard, this detached family home offers bright, spacious and versatile accommodation enjoying a very desirable and well regarded position amidst generous gardens and only 2/3 mile or so from Ben Rhydding’s central amenities and railway station.

Standing amidst good sized, predominantly lawned gardens within a highly regarded neighbourhood close to open countryside, Cragg House offers well appointed and spacious family accommodation - significantly improved by the present owners who have added many luxurious details during their occupancy.

The accommodation is centred around a welcoming reception hall with oak finished flooring and provides four good reception rooms which add to the flexibility of the living space on offer. However, sure to be the central hub of family life is a stunning living kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of integrated units which include a large central island with integrated breakfast bar. There is a broad array of fitted appliances and this lovely room has excellent accessibility to the external terraces - an asset shared by many of the other reception rooms. The gym/living room is tucked away from the core living space and with this area adjoining the utility and boot rooms there is clear potential to create an annex for a dependant relative or similar - subject of course to any necessary consents.

The first floor layout provides four double bedrooms - the principal suite being very generous in its proportions and incorporating a dressing area as well as a luxurious bathroom. Bedroom two has both a separate en suite facility and dressing room, whilst the two remaining bedrooms share a contemporary, well equipped, and recently remodelled house bathroom.

Cragg House is approached through remote control gates which leads to an expansive
turning area with double garage off. Lawned gardens surround the house and there is a charming orchard area planted with numerous fruit trees to the Eastern side. Alongside the living kitchen and principal reception room is a very generous terraced area forming a lovely, sheltered seating area - an ideal spot for Al Fresco dining!

Local amenities are convenient to Cragg Drive, being just some 2/3 mile away within Ben Rhydding and include everyday shops, pub/restaurants, a Primary School and local Metro Station. Central Ilkley is a little further afield and is renowned for its first class shopping environment where "High Street" stores rub shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema and The Winter Gardens which regularly hosts popular performances. Ilkley is blessed with a highly regarded schooling system, although a number of private schools for children of all ages are within easy access.

Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region - the river Wharfe and rugged moors offering many an opportunity for rural pursuits including stunning walks, challenging mountain biking and road cycling. Local clubs cater for traditional pastimes such as Hockey, Rugby, Tennis and Golf.

Beyond this wonderful setting Ilkley forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within comfortable daily travelling distance. From Ben Rhydding station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford International Airport is some 9 miles away.

From our office in the centre of Ilkley proceed past the Railway Station and bear left towards Ben Rhydding. Immediately after the short parade of shops in the centre of the neighbourhood, turn right and then immediately left onto Ben Rhydding Drive and continue for around 1/2 mile bearing right onto Cragg Drive. The property will found around 100 yards or so to the left hand side.
