Townhouse, Iron Row, Forster Mill, Greenholme Mills, Iron Row, Burley In Wharfedale, Ilkley, LS29

The village of Burley in Wharfedale is set amongst some of the area’s most stunning countryside and offers a highly desirable living environment, close to the local towns of Ilkley and Otley, as well as being well placed for the business centres of West Yorkshire and Harrogate. With its vibrant sense of community Burley offers a thriving village atmosphere, supported by a broad provision of every day amenities including local shops, sports clubs, a couple of primary schools as well as a number of pubs and restaurants. The village even has its own ‘metro’ railway station, positioned within comfortable walking distance of Greenholme Mills, from where there are frequent services throughout the day into the local cities of Leeds and Bradford. There are regular onward connections from the former to London Kings Cross. The surrounding countryside, River Wharfe and rugged moors offer many an opportunity for stunning walks, mountain and road biking and other rural pursuits. Nearby Ilkley is an elegant former Victorian Spa town, whilst Otley has its roots embedded in the local agricultural community and retains a regular market within the picturesque square. Each town offers an excellent choice of retail, social and recreational amenities along with clubs to suit a variety of interests. Both are accessible from Burley by public transport, whilst for those who need to travel further afield Leeds/Bradford International Airport is only some 7 miles or so distant. Greenholme Mills enjoys a stunning location on the edge of Burley village from where there are beautiful sweeping aspects across the river towards open countryside and the moors beyond. Whilst the mills have been in decline for decades, the vision of JF Development Group, working with highly regarded contractor MMR and architects Bowman Riley, has brought us the magnificent scheme which we see today - the conversion of the two substantial Victorian mill buildings - Whitaker and Forster - in to a mix of single, two and three bedroom apartments along with a handful of town houses. Each unit, irrespective of size, is comprehensively and stylishly equipped. Each of the four townhouse conversions have upper level balconies, substantial raised terraces and covered parking, external balconies providing outside space and a vantage point from which to soak up the every changing views. The site provides generous parking allocation, whilst there are sweeping lawned areas and strategic planting.
