Show home opens at new Ilkley development

Tuesday, 14 October 2025 11:48

Ashlands Garth enjoys a convenient yet discreet location just off the A65 and Ashlands Road

Almost half of the homes at a highly sought-after new Ilkley development by renowned Keighley based builders R N Wooler & Co, have already been reserved and sold - and a brand-new show home has just opened its doors.

With just eight homes remaining, the launch of the show home provides potential purchasers with a real insight into the exceptional build quality, high specification finishes and spacious layouts that characterise every property at Ashlands Garth.

The exclusive development features 14 semi-detached homes, offering a choice of two, three and four-bedroom layouts, all located within close proximity of Ilkley town centre. The development is being marketed by the new homes division of leading Yorkshire estate agent, Dacre, Son & Hartley.

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

“Ashlands Garth occupies an excellent position just off the A65 – within easy walking distance of Ilkley town centre and close to Ashlands Primary School. It’s also only minutes from scenic riverside walks along the Wharfe, Ilkley’s rugby and cricket clubs, the pool and lido, Riverside Gardens and the start of the Dales Way.

“The combination of a prime location and a small-scale development by a highly respected local company with a strong track record has driven exceptional interest, with four properties now sold and a further two dwellings reserved.

“The launch of the show home, which is open to view by appointment, gives buyers a real sense of the craftsmanship and design on offer. The remaining three and four-bedroom homes will particularly appeal to families seeking a high-quality new build in one of Ilkley’s most desirable locations. We’d encourage anyone interested to contact us now to arrange a viewing.”

The homes, which will be ready to move into from mid-December, feature generous open-plan kitchen and dining areas, landscaped gardens, off-street parking and some have integral garages.

Prices start from £454,950 for a three-bedroom home, which includes a luxurious second-floor en-suite master bedroom with dressing room. The last few four-bedroom homes are priced between £572,500 and £579,950, with each offering two or more en-suites, studies or dressing rooms, and garages.

For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Dacre, Son & Hartley on 01943 600655 or visit www.dacres.co.uk.
