Description
This delightful family home offers very well appointed and good sized family accommodation planned over two floors which includes an entrance hall with cloakroom / wc off, a light and airy sitting room, good sized open plan dining kitchen, utility room and snug. To the first floor there is a generous master bedroom, three further bedrooms and house bathroom. To the outside the gardens are a real feature of this home having been remodelled and landscaped to provide a large and relatively level lawn with spacious stone flagged terrace. There is also driveway parking and electric gates. To the rear of the property is a further stone flagged patio with steps up to a large lawn, all enjoying a pleasant southerly aspect and a good degree of privacy.
Clifton Road forms part of a well regarded residential neighbourhood which lies between the centres of Ilkley and Ben Rhydding, handy for Ilkley Grammar school. Ilkley town centre is readily accessible and provides a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and general amenities. There are popular schools for all ages within the town and a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities and cultural events. There are also pleasant walks to be enjoyed through the woodland, moorland and countryside surrounding the town and the Yorkshire Dales National Park is less than six miles away from Ilkley. Indeed Ilkley forms an ideal base in the Wharfe Valley countryside for commuters to Leeds/Bradford city centres to which regular rail services are available from both Ilkley and Ben Rhydding stations. Leeds/Bradford International Airport is circa eleven miles from the town.

Proceed along Springs Lane passing Ilkley Health Centre and the Coronation Hospital on the right hand side and then turn right into Wheatley Road. Proceed up Wheatley Road and turn left into Clifton Road. Continue along Clifton Road. The property is located on the left hand side.
