Denton Road, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29

An exciting opportunity to acquire an outstanding example of these much admired Edwardian family homes – prominently positioned within Middleton yet within comfortable walking distance of so much that Ilkley has to offer.



Set within a highly regarded area of town, overlooking delightful landscaped gardens and West Holmes Field beyond, Hawkswick forms an undeniably impressive family home – one which underwent a comprehensive scheme of renewal and extension in the last 10 years and now presents outstanding accommodation, equipped to an incredibly high standard.

Whilst reconfigured to provide practical everyday living – including a stunning living kitchen to the rear – the layout retains the broad proportions of these elegant period properties. To the ground floor a generously sized reception hall leads to the principal living areas, as well as a large utility, cloakroom and separate WC. The first floor is unashamedly luxurious with the principal bedroom suite occupying much of the first floor level, with a large double bedroom, dressing room and five piece bathroom off. Also at this level is a double bedroom with Juliet balcony; dual aspect study and house bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor, both comfortable doubles with an adjacent contemporary shower room. The flexibility of Hawkswick is enhanced through the provision of a high calibre annex – built new at the time of the reconfiguration and discreetly positioned behind the property's garage.

The annex has the advantage of broad opening bifold doors overlooking the rear garden, with the studio area providing both seating and sleeping areas and with a very comfortable shower room adjacent.
