Benefitting from a beautiful semi-rural location in the highly regarded village of Hawksworth, Ivy Cottage is to be found within 5 miles or so from the spa town of Ilkley and a short drive from Guiseley’s local amenities. The cottage, which is built from attractive sandstone, stands prominently on Main Street and boasts wonderful rear gardens approaching half an acre in size and affords breath taking distant views across the valley towards Baildon and beyond. Ivy Cottage has been in the same ownership for almost two decades - a much loved home which is now ready to begin a new chapter in its long history, which according to Historic England dates back to the early 18th Century. The property has been sympathetically extended prior to the current ownership, and in more recent years a double garage was built to incorporate an upper level storage/workshop facility and off street driveway parking. This charming cottage enjoys a high degree of flexibility, whilst providing plenty of character and space.
