Burley Woodhead, Ilkley

Built in 1953 in the style of a Scottish lodge, Bracken Hill occupies an elevated position, enjoying breathtaking views across Wharfedale with a southerly aspect. The property is surrounded by approximately 3.34 acres of its own land, creating a wonderfully private setting.

Bracken Hill is approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway leading to a detached garage block.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch leading to an inner hallway, with cloakroom off, a bright and spacious sitting room with double doors leading to a stunning conservatory, complete with underfloor heating, and a dining kitchen with walk-in larder off. An inner vestibule leads to the utility room and boot room, together with a further reception room.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower facilities, along with a family bathroom.

Externally, the property stands within large formal gardens and adjoining fields, which wrap around the property and provide an exceptional degree of privacy.

The detached garage block has been conveniently converted to provide a workshop and two further rooms, which could readily be used for a number of different purposes, subject to any necessary consents.

The property is also considered to offer excellent extension potential and has planning permission granted for the creation of a principal bedroom suite over the existing single-storey element of the property.
