Thursday, 8 May 2025 10:06

Work is complete on a brand-new apartment development in Ilkley that has seen one of the town’s traditional and substantial Victorian villas sympathetically transformed into four exclusive two-bedroom homes.

The homes at Fairleigh, which is located on Skipton Road, are ready now and are being marketed Dacre, Son & Hartley.

The meticulous refurbishment and reconfiguration of the building has been carried out by local company, Turner Developments. Each of the four floors of the building now offers an individual home, from a cosy lower ground floor apartment with its own private garden and terrace, through to a stunning penthouse enjoying magnificent rural and riverside views from its balcony.

Patrick McCutcheon, head of residential at Dacre, Son & Hartley, said:

“Fairleigh is typical of the substantial Victorian villas that mark the period of growth of Ilkley into a fashionable spa town, and this development makes the most of every aspect of the building.

“Each home is full of light with lofty ceilings, intricate cornice details, magnificent views of Wharfedale, as well as being very spacious, but crucially each apartment is completely individual, which sets the development apart from many other new homes schemes.

“The overall finish and luxurious quality that flows through the entire development, combined with its highly sought-after location, close to both the River Wharfe and everything that Ilkley town centre has to offer, mean it will appeal to all types of buyers looking for an exceptional home in one of Yorkshire’s most desirable towns.”

Each kitchen has quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances, and the luxurious main bathrooms all have Kaldwei enamelled baths, as well as modern Aqualla matt black mixer taps, fixed shower heads and wall mounted handheld showers. Every apartment also has quality flooring and carpets, contemporary lighting, parking for two cars and there are communal EV charging points, as well as lawned and flagged gardens.

Prices at Fairleigh range from £465,000 to £675,000 and for further information visit www.dacres.co.uk
