General Remarks:

Langbar Road is one of the most sought-after addresses in Ilkley, central to the Middleton district which is renowned for its broad avenues and delightful sylvian setting.

The neighbourhood is just a short walk from the bustling town centre with its excellent retail, recreational and social facilities including healthcare, a cinema, theatre, the popular Winter Gardens, and a colourful array of independent and ‘high street’ stores.

Sports clubs within the town range from the renowned Ilkley Golf Club through to the popular cricket and rugby clubs, which, along with the town’s Grade II Listed 1930s lido, are set just a few hundred yards’ walk from Long Hall, along Rupert Road. A short stroll over the Old River Bridge leads to Ilkley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club with its indoor and outdoor courts along with padel facilities and gym.

Ilkley is set amidst some of the finest countryside in the North of England, with the rolling hills around Wharfedale offering many an opportunity for rural pursuits, challenging walks, mountain and road cycling. For those in search of a culinary experience there are plenty of opportunities, from street-side cafes, wine bars and bistros to the famous Box Tree restaurant.

The town is ideally placed for the commuter, with frequent connections throughout the day from Ilkley’s railway station into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford. There are frequent onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross, meaning an early start in the capital is a realistic prospect. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just 10 miles away, whilst the region’s road networks also provide ready access towards Harrogate and the A1 beyond, whilst to the west the M65 can be joined at Colne.
