About this property

Property Summary

A rare opportunity – one of only two penthouses: Occupying the top floor of one of Ilkley's most highly regarded purpose-built apartment blocks, this exceptional penthouse offers generous proportions with over 1700 sq ft of spacious accommodation. Dual-aspect windows flood the accommodation with light throughout the day - north-facing over the Memorial Gardens and south-facing towards Ilkley Moor - while a private balcony extends the southerly outlook further still.

Property Description

Hampton Court has long been considered one of Ilkley's most highly regarded purpose-built apartment blocks, and certainly one of the most convenient - occupying a wonderful position at the western end of The Grove, overlooking the Memorial Gardens, and just a short, level walk from the town's central amenities.

No. 14 occupies half of the building’s top floor and is one of only two penthouse apartments at Hampton Court. The apartment also boasts exceptional proportions with over 1700 sq ft of spacious accommodation, as well as its fabulous dual aspect – north over the Memorial Gardens, south towards Ilkley Moor – which fills the accommodation with light throughout the day.

A communal entrance hall with lift and staircase serves all floors. The apartment itself opens into an entrance hall with an entry-phone system, a useful storeroom and a WC, together with the third bedroom/study, which benefits from a Velux window. Double doors lead through into the light and spacious open-plan reception space, combining living and dining areas, which in turn leads to the kitchen, fitted with a range of base and wall units and a breakfast area.

The principal bedroom accommodation is arranged to the rear of the property and comprises two spacious double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, with sliding doors opening onto the south-facing balcony — a lovely spot to enjoy views over the town's rooftops towards Ilkley Moor. The property stands amid attractive, well-maintained communal gardens, and is sold with the additional benefit of a single garage en bloc, fitted with power, lighting and an electrically operated door.

Ilkley's excellent range of shops, cafes, restaurants and everyday amenities are just a short stroll from Hampton Court, with pleasant walks to be enjoyed through nearby parks and gardens. Regular rail services to Leeds and Bradford city centres, along with bus routes to surrounding towns, are available from Ilkley station. The town offers a wide range of sporting, recreational and cultural facilities, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park lies only around six miles away.
