The Wendy House is a most appealing home, sympathetically extended and improved by the current vendors to provide stylish and contemporary accommodation retaining much of the original character. Benefiting from open aspects to the front and lovely far-reaching views across town towards The Cow and Calf and the famous moors to the south, the house is ideally positioned just a short walk from Ben Rhydding Primary School, with the communities’ local shops and ‘Metro’ railways station (with its Leeds and Bradford connections), being just a little further distant. The reconfigured accommodation is entered through a welcoming reception hall, which provides access to three good reception rooms as well as a very impressive dining kitchen – the later having aspects to three sides and French doors leading to the rear south facing garden. A separate utility room provides a very useful and practical facility, and a cloakroom off the hall completes the ground floor.

The bedroom accommodation is set across the first and second floors – with four double rooms as well as a charming single which could readily see use as a study. All of the double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, whilst the fifth has access to very useful eves storage. Set off the principal landing is the main bathroom which is fitted with a four-piece suite including a separate shower cubicle, whilst a luxurious end-suite serves bedroom one. A further house bathroom with three-piece suite is set on the second floor serving the guest bedroom and bedroom five.

The Wendy House stands amidst attractive landscaped grounds. To the front and eastern side are lawns and paved pathways, whilst to the rear there is a simply wonderful family amenity providing a pair of useful terraces as well as a decked area, garden store, extensive shrub planting and pedestrian access to the double width driveway, beyond which is a single garage and further store.

All in all a highly desirable and first class family home.

The neighbourhood of Ben Rhydding is very much a community in its own right – set to the eastern side of Ilkley and with a range of local amenities including a primary school, popular pub/restaurant, everyday shops, and Metro station. Ilkley’s centre is around 3/4 of a mile distant and is home to first-class shopping as well as a busy social round and recreational amenities. The town has excellent sporting amenities as well a highly regarded schooling system, although private schools for children of all ages are within daily travelling distance. Ilkley forms an ideal base for business traveller and yet beautiful open countryside is on ‘the doorstep’ and provides many an opportunity for stunning walks, cycling and other rural pursuits.

From our office in the centre of town proceed past the railway station onto Springs Lane and subsequently onto Bolling Road. Continue ahead for approximately ¾ of a mile and The Wendy House will be seen on the right-hand side immediately before the junction onto Manly Grove, off which the parking area is accessed.
