Cragg House is approached through remote control gates which leads to an expansive turning area with double garage off.

Lawned gardens surround the house and there is a charming orchard area planted with numerous fruit trees to the Eastern side.

Alongside the living kitchen and principal reception room is a very generous terraced area forming a lovely, sheltered seating area – an ideal spot for al fresco dining.

Local amenities are convenient to Cragg Drive, being just some 2/3 mile away within Ben Rhydding and include everyday shops, pub/restaurants, a primary school and local Metro Station.

Central Ilkley is a little further afield and 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 hosts popular performances. Ilkley is blessed with a highly regarded schooling system, although a number of private schools for children of all ages are within easy access.

Ilkley is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the region – the River Wharfe and rugged moors offering many an opportunity for rural pursuits including stunning walks, challenging mountain biking and road cycling.

Local clubs cater for traditional pastimes such as hockey, rugby, tennis and golf.

Beyond this wonderful setting Ilkley forms an ideal base for the West Yorkshire business traveller, with the local cities of Leeds and Bradford, as well as nearby Harrogate, all being within comfortable daily travelling distance.
