General Remarks
This substantial period home commands a spectacular south facing position in the heart of Middleton with panoramic views across town towards Ilkley and the dramatic moors.
Ilkley’s town centre, with its comprehensive range of retail and social amenities, is only half a mile or so distant over the town's historic river bridge. The former Victorian spa town, recently voted the UK’s best place to live in the North of England by The Sunday Times (spring 2025), provides a broad mix of high street and colourful independent stores, as well as an excellent choice of restaurants, cafes and tea rooms. There are sports clubs catering for a huge variety of interests from bowling and rugby, to tennis and golf. The community is home to the popular Winter Gardens along with a couple of supermarkets and even a local independent cinema.
Ilkley has a highly regarded Grammar School served by a number of popular primaries, although there are a number of highly regarded private schools for children of all ages within comfortable daily travelling distance. The surrounding countryside and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for rural pursuits including challenging walks, road and mountain biking.
For the commuter there are excellent links into the region’s business centres including Leeds, Harrogate and Bradford. From Ilkley train station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities, with regular connections from Leeds to London King's Cross, meaning an early start in the nation's capital is a feasible, if occasional, option. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some 11 miles distant from the property.
