Property description
Converted in 2019 as part of the transformation of the former Rombalds Hotel, this stunning second floor apartment – with lift and stair access – runs from front to rear within this impressive period building and offers luxurious two bedroom accommodation, complemented by parking to the rear and delightful westerly aspects to the front. Ideally positioned close to Ilkley’s famous moor and equally accessible to the town’s central amenities and railway station.
Accommodation Summary:
Communal reception hall with video door entry, staircase and passenger lift to the second floor. Private reception hall – a spacious introduction to the apartment. Living room – an elegant and spacious room with westerly aspects and broad opening to a large dining kitchen, comprehensively equipped with integrated appliances. Principal bedroom with views across ‘West Park’. Second double bedroom to the rear – equally suitable as a very pleasant snug. Luxury house bathroom with wc, washbasin, bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside – parking court to the rear within which Apartment Four has allocated parking.
General Remarks:
Forming part of a much admired terrace of period buildings, overlooking the open space of West Park and yet only a short walk from Ilkley’s comprehensive central amenities, The Rombalds was converted to a high standard in 2019 from a former hotel of the same name. It is now home to just seven luxurious apartments, enjoying an incredibly convenient and desirable setting.
Apartment Four is set at the second floor level and has both staircase and passenger lift access from the communal areas. The apartment runs the full depth of the building, thus benefitting from the light of the rising sun and views across open parkland to the west. The accommodation provides a wonderful feeling of both space and light as well as an integral sensation of quality, with contemporary and stylish fittings. The apartment would readily suit those seeking a permanent home or base from which to explore this stunning area of the north of England. A number of rooms are fitted with Amtico parquet style flooring, adding that extra twist of quality.
Many of central Ilkley’s comprehensive amenities are just 200 / 300 yards walk from the apartment, with ‘high street’ stores rubbing shoulders with a colour mix of independent shops, cafes and tea rooms. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema, the Winter Gardens and Ilkley Theatre – both of which regularly host popular performances. There are a couple of medical practices within the town as well as churches of a number of denominations.
Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region – the River Wharfe and rugged moors offering many an opportunity for rural pursuits, including stunning walks and road / mountain biking. Local clubs cater for additional pastimes such as rugby, tennis, hockey, croquet and golf. Beyond this wonderful setting, the town forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within comfortable daily travelling distance. From Ilkley’s central station there are frequent services throughout the day into both local cities and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London Kings Cross. Leeds Bradford International Airport is just some nine miles distant.
The sale of Apartment Four offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a very comfortable and well appointed home in the heart of the town, anointed in the spring of 2022 as the Sunday Times’ ‘Best Place’ in which to live.
