4 bed detached house for sale

Windermere Avenue, Menston, Ilkley, West Yorkshire LS29

We are delighted to offer this wonderful, four bedroom family home set on a quiet, sought after & friendly cul-de-sac, with a particularly large garden and with no upward chain.

Red Leigh is a four bedroom, detached house which has been meticulously maintained to the highest specification by the present owners. This welcoming home is not only ready to move into but is also particularly energy efficient.

The spacious and most versatile accommodation is set over two floors and comprises, to the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall with staircase to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. The entrance hall floors and landings are of solid oak. The principal rooms are at the front of the property . The lounge and dining room both have deep bay windows and ceiling cornices. The dining room has a stone fire surround housing a wood burning stove whilst the lounge has a wood fire surround with marble slips and a Flamewave open convecting fire.

Through to the rear is the kitchen which is fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units with wooden working surfaces over and a number of integrated appliances. Windows to the rear have lovely views over the extensive garden. From the kitchen there is access to the snug, a comfortable room which, again, has lovely views over the garden. Also from the kitchen there is access to a large utility/boot room with Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine, fitted cupboards and doors to the rear garden and integral garage. The utility area includes a spacious fully-tiled shower room with WC, washbasin and enclosed shower.

A wonderful addition to the house is the second lounge which has a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and double doors leading out to the rear terrace, all creating a light and airy space. The lounge has a contemporary wood burning stove and solid oak flooring.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and windows to the rear elevation, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a fully-tiled en suite shower room with underfloor heating.

The second bedroom is also a generous size with a dressing area and fully-tiled en suite shower room with underfloor heating. The other two double bedrooms have use of the contemporary house bathroom, again fully tiled and with underfloor heating.

Outside, at the front of the property, there is a hedge enclosed garden and a block tiled driveway that provides ample parking and access to the integral garage with remote controlled door. A most notable feature of this lovely home is the fabulous rear garden which, once again, has been meticulously maintained by the owners. An extensive lawn is surrounded by mature shrubs and flower borders. There are a number of vegetable beds, fruit trees and a large, recently refurbished fish pond with Oase pump and filter which also provide a fused electric point at the bottom of the garden. Recent additions also include a garden shed and a greenhouse with safety glass.

Immediately to the rear of the house is the superb terrace with outside electric point and tap which has recently undergone refurbishment to include a zinc coated balustrade and handrail. This raised terrace provides a wonderful space for outside entertaining whilst taking in the views of this lovely garden. A zinc coated, lockable side gate in the same style as the balustrade provides privacy and security to the garden.

Standing on the edge of Wharfedale, just a short drive from the local towns of Ilkley and Otley, Menston has long been one of the area’s more popular village communities - understandably so given its convenience for the West Yorkshire business traveller coupled to accessibility to lovely open countryside. The village offers a broad range of amenities including local shops, sports clubs, pubs/restaurants and an excellent primary school. The location of the property also has access to other outstanding primary and secondary schools both state and private.
There is also a ‘Metro’ railway station from where there are frequent services throughout the day into Leeds, Bradford, and nearby Ilkley.
