2 bed flat for sale

Eaton Road, Ilkley, West Yorkshire LS29

This substantial duplex apartment forms the ground and lower ground floor of an imposing Victorian home, ideally placed for central Ilkley. Now requiring improvement but with the advantage of gardens and parking.

A two bedroom duplex apartment, 21A extends over the ground and lower ground floor of a traditional Victorian end of terrace property – occupying an incredibly convenient location just a couple of hundred yards from The Grove shopping, cafes and restaurants.

Substantial in its proportions, the property now requires upgrading and improvement but has considerable potential to form a most impressive home – benefiting from the intrinsic character within the Victorian building, with its high ceilings, broad Bay window and interesting aspects across town. As an added advantage there are garden areas to two sides along with space for parking.

Ilkley enjoys a wonderful setting in the heart of unspoilt Wharfdale – a thriving and colourful community with a broad range of everyday amenities including high street and independent shops grouped around the centre of town where there are also numerous cafes, restaurants and bars. The Winter Gardens forms a popular entertainment venue and the town even has its own local independent cinema. Sports clubs are numerous – catering for interests across a broad age spectrum, and the surrounding countryside and rugged Moors offer many an opportunity for rugged fell walking, mountain biking and road cycling.

The premises benefit from excellent road communications and are within 7 minutes walk from the towns railway station from where there are frequent services throughout the day into both Leeds and Bradford. From the former there are regular homeward connections to London Kings Cross, whilst Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some 10 miles distant.
