This property is a superb, detached lodge conveniently located next to the owner’s home, while maintaining utmost privacy, on the outskirts of Ilkley. This remarkable property sleeps two people and is the perfect choice for a couple looking for an idyllic escape in the countryside without the need to jump in the car every day.

The splendid location of this lodge means you could enjoy a peaceful stroll along the River Wharfe to Ilkley town centre, less than 1.5 miles away, where you’ll find plenty of characterful shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafes adorning the tree-lined streets. This location is also the starting point of the renowned 84-mile-long 'Dales Way', providing an abundance of picturesque walks and cycle routes.

Once inside this delightful lodge, you’ll find a spacious open-plan living area with large patio doors that lead out onto the balcony and flood the room with natural light. The lounge area has a luxurious and elegant decor, and tasteful pictures and prints adorn the wall. With comfortable sofas to snuggle up on after your outdoor adventures and a Smart TV to watch a movie or catch up on your favourite series, this is relaxation central.

Thoughtfully situated in a bright corner of the room near the patio doors, the dining area is a space you could easily imagine yourself enjoying a board game or making plans for the following day after enjoying an evening meal. The kitchen is suitably stylish with contemporary appliances so you can prepare meals and dine in style. There is also a coffee machine for that all-important hit to start your day.

Walk up a flight of stairs to a bright and spacious king-size bedroom, the perfect place to get a good night’s sleep.  A generous-sized contemporary shower room with a shower is also on this floor.

The patio doors in the living space open out onto a private balcony with outdoor furniture where you could enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while admiring the distant views of the Wharfe Valley. Further seating can also be found in an additional pretty patio area, making this the perfect spot to relax in the sunshine.
