Estate agents in Ilkley area are used to seeing fabulous homes so much so that they are blase about million pound plus homes. It takes a lot to impress them because they have seen it all before so when Patrick McCutcheon, Head of Residential at Dacre, Son and Hartley, describes Friars Hill, on the market at £5.5m, thus you know it is extra special. He says: “Of all of the fabulous homes I have seen in Wharfedale, Friars Hill is unquestionable amongst the very best.”

He adds: “It’s a home that combines warmth and country style with privacy, space and well balanced living. The grounds are a delight, offering ample space to meander or entertain on the sunny terraces or within the more sheltered and charming kitchen garden.”
