Advantageously situated on the ground floor south western corner of this historic Grade II listed building, commanding some delightful aspects over the neatly maintained communal grounds and tarns, this spacious, well presented apartment provides a luxurious two bedroom home in this prestigious development on the edge of Ilkley Moor.
Wells House was designed by the renowned architect, Sir Cuthbert Brodrick, as a hydropathic hotel in Victorian times and is a most impressive building which is now Grade II listed. After various uses, circa 2000, Wells House was thoughtfully converted and adapted to provide 27 luxury apartments set around a central glazed atrium.
Wells House enjoys an exceptional setting amidst neatly maintained parkland style grounds on the edge of Ilkley Moor. Apartment 7 occupies a very favourable location on the ground floor on the south western corner of the building with some delightful views over the tarns towards Ilkley Moor and the White Wells Baths.
The development has combined the classical features of the original building with stylish, contemporary interior design to create exceptional and spacious apartments, accessed from an impressive central atrium. The accommodation to Apartment 7 comprises an entrance hall with storage cupboards, and double doors leading to a splendid living room of open plan design with dining and kitchen areas and featuring an attractive fireplace with granite hearth and a coal effect gas fire. Double French doors lead out onto a terrace which forms part of the communal gardens.
The master bedroom is a high ceilinged room with a tall sash window to front with pleasant aspects over the tarn towards White Wells and Ilkley Moor and features an extensive range of fitted wardrobes as well as a luxury ensuite bathroom. There is also a second bedroom with fitted wardrobes as well as a separate shower room.
The apartment enjoys the use of the attractively landscaped communal grounds which have a parkland feel and feature tarns, woodland, terraces and lawns. Apartment 7 benefits from an undercroft parking space and a further external parking space, all secured behind electronic gates, with a visitor parking area to front of building.
Ilkley town centre with its wide range of local shops, restaurants, cafes and general amenities being just a short drive away. Indeed the town, which enjoys regular commuter rail services to Leeds/Bradford city centres, is only circa 6 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is considered to be an ideal location in the Wharfe Valley countryside for those working in the principal West Yorkshire business centres and also those that may be contemplating an active retirement. Ilkley has a very wide range of sporting and recreational facilities and cultural events and there are many superb walks through the surrounding countryside and moorland to be enjoyed from Wells House quite literally from the doorstep.
