Discreetly positioned within Ilkley's prime residential area and benefitting from level lawned gardens � a well-proportioned modern home offering spacious four bedroom family accommodation with three principal reception rooms along with a breakfast kitchen with utility off.
Middleton has long been regarded as Ilkley's prime residential area, the neighbourhood occupying a lovely setting on the banks of the river Wharfe with views across the valley towards Ilkley's famous moors. Middleton is home to the town's cricket grounds, rugby club and famous Lido, whilst a short walk from Clifford Avenue, over the old river bridge, leads towards Ilkley's tennis club, the riverside parks and a couple of popular public houses.
Ilkley's town centre is just a mile or so distant and plays host to a comprehensive range of first class shopping along with an excellent choice of restaurants, tea rooms and wine bars. The town enjoys a highly regarded schooling system with popular primary schools as well as a highly regarded grammar school � although private schooling for children of all ages is available within comfortable daily travelling distance. For the commuter Ilkley has links with the region's business centres and from the town centre station there are frequent services throughout the day into the cities of Leeds and Bradford, with regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross.
Set at the head of a private driveway within a discreet and mature setting this modern link-detached home offers well planned family accommodation with well proportioned principal day rooms and four first floor bedrooms � two of which have fitted wardrobes with the master also having an en-suite shower room off. All the rooms enjoy very pleasant aspects onto the property's level gardens, with French doors leading from the family room to the rear south facing terrace.
