Property description

Located on this prestigious address within the Middleton area of Ilkley is this spacious, two bedroom, ground floor apartment with its own private, southerly facing garden, being now in need of modernisation but with the advantage of a double garage, allocated parking, and planning permission to substantially extend the accommodation.

Forming part of this smartly appointed apartment development found in this highly desirable area of Ilkley is this two bedroom, ground floor apartment. The accommodation, arranged over a single storey, consists of a communal entrance hall, inner hallway, spacious sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room and study. To the outside the property has communal areas to the front where there is ample space for parking. There is also a private parking space in front of the apartment’s own double garage, which provides not only useful storage or parking, but also a private entrance to the property and to the rear garden. To the rear of the property there is an attractive and good sized, southerly facing garden with seating areas, lawn and planted beds.

Planning has been granted to demolish the garage and construct a single storey side extension with internal alternations / refurbishment of the apartment. Application no: 21/04720/ful. Further details can be found on the Bradford Council website:

Middleton has long been regarded as Ilkley’s prime residential area, the neighbourhood occupying a lovely setting on the banks of the river Wharfe with views across the valley towards Ilkley’s famous moors. Middleton is home to the town’s cricket grounds, rugby club and famous Lido, whilst a short walk from Rupert Road, over the old river bridge, leads towards Ilkley’s tennis club, the riverside parks and a couple of popular public houses.

Ilkley’s town centre is just a mile or so distant and plays host to a comprehensive range of first class shopping along with an excellent choice of restaurants, tea rooms and wine bars. The town enjoys a highly regarded schooling system with popular primary schools as well as a highly regarded grammar school – although private schooling for children of all ages is available within comfortable daily travelling distance. For the commuter Ilkley has links with the region’s business centres and from the town centre station there are frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross.

The property is leasehold with the balance of a lease of 999 years from March 2017. The current service charge is £250 per month and there is a peppercorn annual ground rent.
Pets are allowed only subject to the Landlord’s approval.

From our office in the centre of town proceed down Brook Street, through the main traffic lights onto Middleton Avenue. Continue ahead over the river and take the third left hand turn onto Rupert Road. The apartment can be found to the left hand side.
