Ben Rhydding Drive, Ben Rhydding, Ilkley, LS29

An exciting opportunity to acquire an ultra-modern grand design in the North's premier town. Designed by award-winning architects, Halliday Clark, The Oaks is a meticulously designed contemporary home offering beautifully presented three-bedroom accommodation with high-grade materials throughout. Enjoying a secluded setting within a highly regarded neighbourhood, amidst landscaped gardens of around half an acre, providing southerly facing, sheltered living amidst a green bowl of mature trees and shrubs. From here, distant views extend across Wharfedale towards Beamsley Beacon. Many houses claim luxury, but few meet the specification of The Oaks. Luxurious bath/shower rooms feature fittings from Lusso and Matki, whilst the bespoke kitchen, by Hive of Ilkley, includes Miele and other high-quality appliances. With underfloor heating throughout the whole property, the sweeping, free-flowing principal living area is complemented by three comfortable bathrooms. At The Oaks the exterior blends with the interior, the connection amplified by the large windows and sliding doors within the living room and kitchen. A zinc-finished colonnade and pergola contrast with traditional dry stone walling, whilst a generous provision of external water and electricity points, parking for multiple vehicles, EV charger, storage and sheltered gardens combine ease and practicality. Highly energy efficient, with solar panels, battery storage and equipped for export to the grid, The Oaks is the epitomy of contemporary living. The Oaks is to be found within walking distance of the centre of Ilkley, offering an ideal combination of town and semi-rural living. Discreetly positioned amidst sheltered grounds of around half an acre, a pair of electric gates, hung on bespoke stone pillars, open in to an expansive parking area and walled garden, giving a wonderful sense of arrival. The southerly orientation of this breathtaking home floods the principal rooms with natural light, whilst generous fenestration makes the most of the lovely aspect on to the immediate lawns and landscaped grounds. Local amenities are on offer within Ben Rhydding and include everyday shops, pub/restaurants, local Metro station and even a golf course. Central Ilkley is renowned for its first-class shopping environment where �High Street� stores rub shoulders with a colourful mix of independent shops. There are comprehensive dining opportunities, from fine dining to family favourites, along with a local cinema and The Winter Gardens which regularly host popular performances. Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region - the river Wharfe and rugged moors offering many opportunities for rural pursuits including stunning walks, challenging mountain biking and road cycling. Local clubs cater for traditional sports such as hockey, rugby, tennis and swimming. Beyond this wonderful setting, the town forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within comfortable daily travelling distance. From Ben Rhydding station there are frequent services throughout the day into both cities, and from Leeds there are regular onward connections to London King�s Cross, meaning an early start in the nation�s capital is a feasible proposition. Leeds Bradford International airport is 9 miles away. No wonder Ilkley was once more a title winner in The Sunday Times Best Place to Live 2025.
