General Remarks

Briarfield forms a sumptuous Victorian detached home presented and equipped to an impressively high standard and benefiting from a recent extension to the eastern side which has transformed the kitchen into a fabulous living area - sure to be the focus of everyday life. The ground floor includes three further elegantly proportioned reception rooms, offering plenty of space for privacy or to play and entertain. Planned over four floors in all, the property has the advantage of an expansive basement which includes a cinema/media room, very comfortable private office, as well as a laundry and direct access to the property's integral and oversized double garage.

Bedroom accommodation is set across the first and second floors, with a total of six double bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, including a fabulous principal bedroom running the full depth of the property and with a luxury bathroom as well as a fitted dressing room.

Externally, the house has level gardens to the southern side, along with a generous terrace and lower-level driveway access, which also leads to a home gym.

Ilkley itself requires little introduction, the former Victorian spa town occupying a beautiful location in the heart of Wharfedale - a setting which provides ready access to some of the region's finest countryside, whilst also offering excellent commuter links. From the town centre railway station, which is only a mile or so from Briarfield, there are frequent services throughout the day into both Leeds and Bradford - with regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross.

The town enjoys a thriving and colourful retail environment, with independent stores rubbing shoulders with ‘high street’ brands. There are excellent everyday facilities, including a cinema, the popular Winter Gardens, the famous art deco Lido, and numerous sports clubs catering for a huge variety of tastes. The surrounding countryside and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for challenging walks, road and mountain biking. Ilkley Grammar School is justifiably well regarded, but there are a number of private schools for children of all ages within daily travelling distance, including Moorfield which is just a few hundred yards walk away – as is igs.

The sale of Briarfield offers an exciting opportunity to acquire an impressive home within a mature neighbourhood less than a mile from central Ilkley.
