A unique and truly impressive duplex apartment offering undeniably stylish accommodation combining the endearing character of this stunning Grade II listed landmark building with high quality contemporary features. Extensive everyday living space and a pair of double bedrooms. Communal gardens and a pair of undercroft parking spaces.
Originally constructed during the Victorian era as a hydropathic hotel Wells House is a magnificent landmark building set on the southern side of Ilkley close to the moors but equally a pleasant walk from Ilkley's extensive town centre amenities and railway station. Wells House was converted over the turn of the millennium by prestigious property developers Magellan who created some 27 luxury apartments within the imposing Grade II fabric which features a breath taking central atrium - a truly magnificent introduction to the property. The town itself is well known for its highly desirable living environment and offers a comprehensive range of retail amenities, a busy social round, cultural facilities and sports clubs suiting a wide variety of tastes. Lovely open countryside surrounds the town and offers many an opportunity for delightful moorland and riverside walks, although the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Duke of Devonshire's Bolton Abbey Estate are both within comfortable driving distance.
As the accompanying photographs show the sale of Apartment 4 offers an opportunity to acquire a truly unique home featuring extensive living accommodation centred around a splendid and comfortably proportioned galleried principal drawing room. At the upper level there is additional living space which overlooks the central drawing room � a family / dining area is complimented by a beautifully appointed kitchen having bespoke units, extensive granite features and a comprehensive inventory of integrated appliances. On the ground floor level, set to either side of the main drawing room, are a pair of double bedrooms - both of which feature fitted wardrobes with one having a stylish en suite wet room off, whilst there is also a very impressive house bathroom with four piece suite. Many of the rooms enjoy lovely aspects across communal grounds towards the rugged moors and Beamsley Beacon beyond town.
