Property description

This truly exceptional detached six bedroom house successfully fuses Arts & Crafts style with contemporary designs and materials to create a home of unique character over three floors with an integral garage at lower ground floor level in this very popular neighbourhood to the south-west of Ilkley. NO ONWARD CHAIN

Ilkley has a rich heritage of fine houses built in Edwardian times that incorporate the influential design style of the historic Arts & Crafts movement. Inspired by this legacy and the work of the respected Yorkshire Arts & Crafts architect Charles Voysey, the present owners of The New Homestead resolved to create an exciting new home in the Arts & Crafts style with high-quality contemporary design and materials.

The result is a truly exceptional home of individual character that provides versatile and naturally lit accommodation over three floors, with the useful benefit of an integral garage with internal access.

Parish Ghyll Drive forms part of a highly-regarded neighbourhood towards the south-western fringe of Ilkley, close to the famous moors and readily accessible to the town centre with its excellent range of shops, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and general amenities.

Ilkley has highly-rated schools for all ages, and a wide range of sporting, recreational and cultural facilities. There are delightful walks to be enjoyed through woodlands, the famous Ilkley Moor and the countryside surrounding the town. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is less than six miles away. Ilkley is an ideal base in the Wharfe Valley countryside for commuters to Leeds and Bradford city centres. Regular rail services are available from Ilkley station, alongside frequent buses to surrounding towns.
