About half a mile from the heart of Ilkley, this stone-built home on one level enjoys elevated green views out to Wharfedale, and is only moments from the riverside, and the fine cafes, restaurants and shops that line the main avenues of the town.
The glorious countryside of the Yorkshire Dales is on your doorstep, famous natural features such as Ilkley Moor, Cow and Calf Rocks, and Otley Chevin are all within easy reach. A short car journey (or a good bike ride) will take you to Malham Cove, the Yorkshire Three Peaks, and Janets Foss, your outdoor exploration choices here are endless!
The town of Ilkley is well-known for being a cut above, and is currently ranked by The Sunday Times as the best place to live in the North of England. As you might expect, shopping here continues those high standards, from groceries at Booths and M&S to the range of independent boutiques around Grove Promenade and Brook Street.
When you can tear yourself away from lunch at the renowned Box Tree, or afternoon tea at Bettys, then arriving home to Summerhill will always be something to look forward to. Tucked away in a peaceful corner of ever-desirable Ilkley, this charming 3-bedroom detached bungalow offers not only a warm, welcoming layout but also scope for renovation to create your perfect countryside retreat.
Sitting on a generous plot with pleasant lawns, private patio space, a cavernous double garage, and parking for multiple vehicles, this is a rare opportunity to secure a spacious home in one of the most sought-after towns in the North.
Step inside to a bright entrance hall and on into the sitting room. Choose your spot to sit and enjoy the views of the garden and out towards the countryside at Middleton (large double-glazed windows are a particular feature at Summerhill, flooding the house with natural light), or maybe youll prefer to be cosy in front of the smart living-flame gas fire, theres plenty of room here for everyone to unwind in comfort.
The shaker-style kitchen has ample workspace and storage for even the most enthusiastic of cooks, complemented by high-quality integrated appliances, A door leads out to the patio, a lovely secluded area in which to enjoy a morning cuppa or an outdoor meal on sunny summer days.
The kitchen opens into a delightful dining area, lots of room here for family gatherings or dinner parties, and an adjoining sun room, which offers relaxing garden views year-round, and seems the perfect spot to sleep off a big Sunday lunch!
Back into the entrance hall and past the laundry room and a modern house bathroom, and we find three double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and storage. The largest of the three has its own ensuite shower room and more built-in bedroom units.
This home has been in the same family ownership for nearly 20 years, and has been generally well cared for. Some rooms could benefit from new floor coverings and redecoration, and the exterior is in need of some attention, but the potential is there to create a fabulous home. Well-suited to buyers who are downsizing, but in need of space for when family stays, it would also work well for a growing family looking for a solid home on a nice plot with potential for extension.
Summerhill is more than a home - its a chance to discover a peaceful life within one of Yorkshires most scenic and celebrated towns. Contact Silverspring today to find out more and arrange your time to view, well be delighted to help you.
